Dual boot ydl and OS X

[K Hanai]

Do you have enough space for OSX?
It needs a lot of space, first install may require 1.5 GB without any
application. When you install applications, it is easy to eat up 7 - 8
GB of disk space. OSX makes swap files in the root hfs+ partition,
then some another space is neccessary for its normal operation.

If you have enough hfs+ space, you can install OSX. OSX install may
change current OF setup for the dual boot. But it is easy to restore 
the setup. After OSX install, you can boot YDL by the option bootup. 
Press option key during startup, you will see the current boot 
partitions including the YDL startup disk on the screen. By selecting
the YDL partition (exactly speaking, this is the Apple_bootstrap 
partition), you can boot YDL. In the YDL, issue "ybin -v", then
you can restore your dual boot setup.
