Hey again
Just letting you all know how stupid my question was. I had tried a heap of stuff with yaboot and display settings and it was all for nothing. For so long i put up with the black borders when the solution was so frieken obvious but at the same time wasn't.
I just had to use the monitor adjustments all this time but i didnt because I cant get MOL running and didnt want to adjust my monitor each time I boot up into Mac OSX and YDL . I adjusted the monitor settings and then booted up Mac OSX and WOW! Mac OSX was in full screen after i changed it for YDL. Then I shutdown and booted up YDL and it was full screen also.
anyways take care

Hi,
If you don't find bootX, that's probably because you are working on a New World Mac, which uses yaboot for the boot configuration, instead of BootX,
To go short, edit /etc/yaboot.conf (or is it in /boot ?; I don't have a mac at
all now, so I can't check). There should be a section for the kernel you use
to boot. Add the arguments needed to the append line (arguments are space
separated, I believe).
After saving the changes, remember to run ybin as root, for the changes to take effect upon the next boot.
Good luck.
