I'm running mac os x 10.4.x on a 700mhz blob imac. I was just given an old external vst 'wave' firewire external harddrive, inside its a 30gb scuzzi hd.
I booted up Ubuntu Breazy Badger 5.10. I ran into the issue that I cannot get yaboot to install ](*,) . The partitions run like this
#1 Apple_Bootstrap, 1 mb, new world boot
#2 Boot, 1 mb, ibid
#3 untitled, 27 gb, ext3 (root)
#4 swap, 3 gb, swap area
Thanks for any help (is this even posible?)

It's not easy to install to an external disk. Here are some threads:
