Yaboot.conf- booting multiple debian systems



Hi All

I'm having trouble setting up yaboot to boot more than one Debian
system.  My partition map is attached.  Basically I have my production
(sid) system root partition on hda16 and hda17 is a test system I
installed using the d-i beta4 and upgraded to sid.  I would like yaboot
to give me the option to boot into macOSX, hda16 or hda17.  I've created
yaboot.conf as follows:

delay=20
Linux=/dev/hda16
Test=/dev/hda17
macosx=/dev/hda10

boot=/dev/hda2
device=hd:
timeout=30
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot

image=/vmlinux
     label=Linux
     partition=16
     root=/dev/hda16
     read-only

image=/vmlinux
        label=Test
        partition=17
        root=/dev/hda17
        read-only

image=/vmlinux.old
        label=Linux.old
        read-only
										
However, I only get the option of Linux or MacOSX on boot.  I've
googled for yaboot.conf examples to follow but couldn't find anything
useful.

Any guidance would be much appreciated ;)

Thanks

Clive
