thanks to those that directly responsed to me
the problem seems to have been the way i let "root=" line be
now i have yaboot,conf as followings
and happy with [tab] then "s" to go slacky
i saw "alias=" thing in someone's conf
but wondering if the "default=" line for that
will have conflict with "defaultos=" line
that i will use for osx
thanx anyway!
now i have 2 linux on my iBookG4
