Restoring yaboot

[Tim Shubitz]

Michael,
    Did you even try what I suggested? That setting is stored in NVRAM 
which can be reset by zapping the PRAM. Every time that I've installed 
a newer version of OS X, betas, etc. on other partitions I have on my 
PowerBook the boot partition is set to whatever I just installed. I 
password-protect my laptop via OpenFirmware which gets in the way of 
PRAM zapping. I disable the OpenFirmware password, restart, zap the 
PRAM and voila. Every time. Give it a whirl and see what happens.
