losing the boot option when switching startup inside OSX

[yellowdog-general@lists.terrasoftsolutions.com]

Hi,

If you install OSX and OS9 in the same disk partition, the problem
you describe occurs. Everytime you do startup disk in OSX or in OS9,
the MacOS system rewrite all OF parameters, which brows up your
boot loader screen.  The simplest remedy may be to re-write the
OF parameters (only one place, boot-device) by hand. The eternal
remedy may be that you install OSX and OS9 in the two different 
partitions. 

Cheers,
kaz
