fun with yaboot

[Aaron Grewell]

I've been working on a new box to function as a failover for my spamfilter 
server, and since all the PC's I have handy are junk I grabbed a Blue and 
White G3 that was sitting on a shelf.  It has a pair of 8GB SCSI drives and 
should be fine as a secondary box.  I then set it up with a software RAID-1 
configuration for the root partition so that if a drive failed I wouldn't be 
hosed.  Unfortunately I'm having trouble making the bootloader redundant.  I 
created the necessary partition during installation, made it into a 
bootloader partition afterwards, and installed yaboot into it using ybin.  It 
just doesn't work.  If I unplug the primary drive I get the flashing question 
mark and nothing more.  Anybody else ever tried to do this with yaboot 
before?
