no dual-boot after (re)install on ibook G3



I can't get the dualboot to work (again). 

Bevor installing Debian 4.0 from the newest CDROM I had 
Debian 3.1 and macos(9) and no Problems to choose at the boot-prompt.

During the install yaboot only found the Linux-Partition. After the first
reboot I added "macos=/dev/hda10" in yaboot.conf and updating with ybin -v
I get:

ybin: Finding OpenFirmware device path to `/dev/hda9'...
ybin: Finding OpenFirmware device path to `/dev/hda10'...
ybin: Installing first stage bootstrap /usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
onto /dev/hda9...
ybin: Installing primary bootstrap /usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot onto /dev/hda9...
ybin: Installing /etc/yaboot.conf onto /dev/hda9...
ybin: Setting attributes on ofboot...
ybin: Setting attributes on yaboot...
ybin: Setting attributes on yaboot.conf...
ybin: Blessing /dev/hda9 with Holy Penguin Pee...
ybin: Updating OpenFirmware boot-device variable in nvram...

... so ybin found the path to macos9

a snip from parted now: 
 9      791kB   2391kB  1601kB  hfs          untitled         boot
11      2391kB  6202MB  6199MB  ext3         deb40
12      6202MB  6808MB  606MB   linux-swap   swap             swap
10      6808MB  9216MB  2408MB  hfs          Ohne Titel 2       

On the bootscreen I see: l,m,c
but selecting "m" I get a Floppy-Icon with blinking questionmark.

So what went wrong?

(I even tried with a Kubuntu-PPC, changing the Partition-order, setting on
the hfs-partiton the boot flag - always Linux is fine, but no macos(9) )
In the man-pages I found a hint to "bless" Partitionen, but no way to do it
manualy.
Any help preciated
