Try holding the alt/option key down while booting the machine. A few 
seconds after the boot chime a screen should appear with an icon for 
each bootable disc or partition detected. If your Linux partition isn't 
broken you should be able to select it here. Once you've booted Linux 
re-run ybin as root to restore yaboot.

Try holding the alt/option key down while booting the machine. A few
seconds after the boot chime a screen should appear with an icon for
each bootable disc or partition detected. If your Linux partition
isn't broken you should be able to select it here. Once you've booted
Linux re-run ybin as root to restore yaboot.

My partition layout is as follows:

/dev/hda1-5: Apple Stuff?

/dev/hda6: Mac OS X

/dev/hda7: Mac OS 9

/dev/hda8: bootstrap

/dev/hda9: Linux Root

/dev/hda10: HFS Drive (LinuxShare, so I can get files between mac and
linux)

/dev/hda11: Linux Swap

Worked for me.  Also you might try unplugging any extra usb devices
until you get it worked out.  Especially printers.  Hope this helps.

<excerpt>Hello,

A bit ago I (by accident) changed the startup disc, so YDL doesn't
boot; I just use the boot CD and go into rescue mode to use it. I
decided I would like the menu again, so I re-ran ybin and rebooted.
Open Firmware showed up, displaying a message like:

running a 333mhz iMac with Panther and YDL 3.0.
