Anyone? It's not something I do often but I normally boot into OSX (10.2) and then change the start up disk to the OS9 Folder. My G4 then boots into OS9 bypassing yaboot. I think from memory I have to reset the PRAM to get back to yaboot prompt when rebooting.
I am sure you can also include OS9 as a boot option in yaboot but I've not done it 'cos I don't use it enough to be concerned. HTH Clive -- http://www.clivemenzies.co.uk strategies for business
