this is ybin 0.16, 0.16 sucks ;-)
install 0.21, you can get a deb from http://them.org/~drow/debian
be aware that this deb will probably change alot in the next couple
days.
when you install the new deb setup a yaboot.conf like this:
device=hd:
delay=5
timeout=50
magicboot=/boot/ofboot.b.sh ## this will change in the next deb version
boot=/dev/hda5
install=/boot/yaboot
macos=/dev/hda8
image=/vmlinux
label=linux
root=/dev/hda7
partition=7
read-only
then run mkofboot -v reboot and you will have a dual boot menu with an
option for macos and an option for Debian.
