Well, I didn't know for the longest time that there was a different man
page for yaboot.conf.
In my version of the man page for yaboot.conf, it has a sample
configuration at the end of the file that includes booting both MacOS,
and MacOSX:
EXAMPLES
Here is an example yaboot.conf file:
boot=/dev/hda2
device=hd:
root=/dev/hda3
partition=3
timeout=20
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
fgcolor=black
bgcolor=green
default=Linux
defaultos=linux
password=secret
image=/boot/vmlinux
label=Linux
read-only
restricted
image=/boot/vmlinux.old
label=linux.old
read-only
macos=hd:9
macosx=/dev/hda10
Of course, yours will probably be simpler that this. Here's my
yaboot.conf:
boot=/dev/hda9
device=hd:
partition=10
root=/dev/hda10
timeout=30
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
image=/vmlinux
label=Linux
read-only
macos=/dev/hda17
enablecdboot
This file was autogenerated by Debian's install, but I had to modify it
so I could boot MacOS and/or MacOSX. (Whichever I was using at the
time.)
Hope the helps.
