Hi Ken:
As far as I know, I believe the easiest approach to try out is to select from within OS X, System Preferences and choose Startup Disk. Then choose OS X residing on whichever drive OS X lives in. You can't miss it. When done, then choose restart. That should be it. OS X doesn't see YDL anyway, at least, not when I look from within OS X and I have YDL 4.1 on the same internal drive but different partition.


I think I've tried this (some time ago) However, I also think I installed a utility on the OSX side that allows OSX to see the Linux drife. It shows up on the desktop as a hard drive icon marked with a "/"

When you later wish to boot into YDL, you should be able to press the Option key before Mac boots up (hold the option key down while the computer boots up) and you should then see the drives available to select to boot from. Just use your mouse to select the appropriate drive. Wait, of course, for the cursor to return to normal. After you select the drive just hit your return key and that should be it.

I'll give this another try and see if it works/

I believe you can also add the line:

  defaultos=macosx

to the /etc/yaboot.conf file.  Then run:

  /sbin/ybin

to commit the change. That should still give you the choice of OS, with OSX being the default.
