Yaboot only works for 2 options

[Jonathan Metts]

use any editor and look at the yaboot.conf file:

pico /etc/yaboot.conf

the file should look like this with a few exceptions:
where as in my setup 9=bootloader, 10=OS 9.2, 11=10.2, you
will need to check and make sure that your partition numbers
correspond to your os's...my default os is macosx and enablecdboot 
is on.  if all the numbers and info are correct compared to below, you
shouldn't have a problem.  a quick way to check your partition numbers 
would be to do "pdisk /dev/hda" then type "p" to see the table.  verify 
the partition numbers then exit by typing "q"  this is of course for
hda, substitute hdb, hdc, etc for you harddrive. this is for a 533DP G4
running YDL2.3.

#ybin options
boot=/dev/hda9
macos=/dev/hda10
macosx=/dev/hda11
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
delay=10
defaultos=macosx
enablecdboot

# yaboot options
init-message="\nWelcome to Yellow Dog Linux\n\n"
timeout=50
default=linux
partition=13

# yaboot images
image=/boot/vmlinux
        label=linux
        root=/dev/hda13
        append="hdc=ide-scsi"

image=/boot/vmlinux
        label=linux-novideo
        root=/dev/hda13
        append="hdc=ide-scsi"
        novideo
