Go into OF (Command-Option-O-F upot bootup), and type at the OF prompt
something like this:

    boot hd:9,yaboot

Change the number 9 to the actual number of your bootstrap partition.
You will be presented with the second-stage boot and you will be able
to boot linux.

This is fine, but you will have to do this all over again, each time
you boot.  To reinstate the bootstrap partition in its booting rights
(and thus have the usual boot menu), once you log into Linux just run
ybin.
