no boot prompt - was OSX 10.3 upgrade fix problems associated with 10.2.8?

When you get the boot prompt, type
linux single <enter>
or some variant to boot you into single user mode. That should allow you
access into your YDL install, where you can properly config
/etc/yaboot.conf if that is where the booting problem is. I can put up
my own yaboot.conf if it would help.

Good luck.    --Harvey

Hi Harvey,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I think your yaboot.conf might help at some
point.  My problem at the moment is that I never see a boot prompt - or
anything that I would identify as a boot prompt.  Any ideas on that would be
appreciated at this point.

I reinstalled YDL 3.0.1 last night and set linux as the default - since i
can't intervene, linux fired up and seems to run normally.  However, the
only way I could get back to OSX was to boot from a CD and then use the
startup disk control panel in the 9.22 system folder on my hard drive to
restart in OSX.  However, if I want to start with Linux, I don't see a way
to do that now.  Sigh.

Thanks again.

Cheers

Bob
