I don't think it will, but it's a good idea. If I remember rigght, which
is always questionable, this would work if my Bootstrap partition was
BEFORE my OS9/OSX partitions. However my partitions are like this :
os9 - osx - bootstrap - ydl
So, what I did was boot off the install CD, and at the boot prompt typed in:
linux root=/dev/hda11
And voila. Booted off my ydl install. From there, quick trip to the shell
and "ybin -v" and it's all fixed.
Many thanks!
Michael
