YDL Boots, Mac OS 9 Does Not

[Harvey Ussery]

Jay,     I'm sorry, but I can't find any problem with the layout of the 
partition map per se--I brought it up side by side with mine and. . 
.nothing. I just went thru a lot of this stuff when I recently did a 
major reinstall (everything), that's why I was hoping I could help. But 
my great limitation here is that I have never worked w a system that 
dual booted YDL and OS9 (only YDL & OSX)--so maybe I'm missing 
something. (For the same reason it wouldn't be helpful to put up my own 
partition map--it lacks the small driver partitions [your part's #2-5] 
required by OS9 but not OSX. But they're not bootable, so should not be 
your problem.)

The only other thing I can think to check at the moment is your yaboot 
config. I would think that since the ydl installer handled the 
partitioning & installation of yaboot, it would have config'd yaboot 
properly. But just in case, can you report the output of
cat /etc/yaboot.conf

Hope that might give us a clue.  Good luck.    --Harvey
