Some of you may remember this thread from awhile back.  As an update, I 
finally got around to repartitioning my B&W HD as it should be.  Now my 
bootstrap is located on HDA9, OS9 is HDA11 and OSX is HDA13.  The 
original problem I had was that when I went into OS9 and tried to 
restart the computer, it would hang, basically just a blank screen.  Now 
that I have redone everything, both OSX and OS9 cause this problem!  The 
only time I get the yaboot screen is when I restart from YDL.  The 
original problem was thought to be because of the odd location of my 
bootstrap drive but now it's in the "right" location.  Any ideas?
