[snip] i think what your problem is right now is OF has had its boot-device changed to point at the OSX partition, just reset OF to defaults (command option p r on a cold boot) to reenable yaboot booting. since your bootstrap partition was left alone this will work. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
