Probably all you need to do is re-run ybin. OS X de-blesses other
partitions when it's installed, and since you followed the guidelines
and put your boot partition before the Mac partitions, it still works ...
but only because it's the first partition with a bootable file. When
you re-run ybin, it will become re-blessed and be found more quickly.
