Oh, another thing... How can I type the "\" char in OpenFirmware using the USB
keyboard ?!?  I had to attach the old (and MUCH BETTER) ADB keyb to type it.

If you can type on a ADB keyboard you have proably a B&W G3. Some
keyboards can not produce the \ key. I guess the OF keymap is broken.

Oh, this is a really useful info. Tnx !!  :-)))

The os-chooser gives you the choice between MacOS and yaboot, not
yaboot.

So I need to change the OF boot device each time I want to boot the other OS
??

Nope, point it to your Linux boot partition and load the os-chooser
script.
You can use ybin or lilo to automate that. ybin is at ppclinux.apple.com
and lilo is at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/powerpc/lilo/
