What is the older method? I'm only familiar with the method of installing
yaboot on a bootstrap partition.

Yaboot does not have clickable icons. You are thinking of the MacOS
capability to select an OS source using the option key. AFAIK,
that capability is not programmable. But if you have Linux installed,
I think an icon may show up. You would have to find docs from Apple
on how that works. For debian, we use yaboot which provides an OS
selection menu activated by keys.
