Doing some other things of note, if I go into OF the normal way 
(Command-Option-O-F), and type the commands, it will go into each 
respective OS.  In other words typing boot hd:13,\\:tbxi takes me to 
OS9, boot hd:11,\\:tbxi takes me to OSX and boot hd:9,\\takes me to the 
yaboot prompt screen.  Of course if I go into either OS9 or OSX I still 
have to zap the PRAM before I can get back to the OF screen, or any 
other for that matter.  Also one other item caught my eye on subsequent 
attemps after choosing the open firmware from the yaboot prompt screen 
and typing in these commands, I would get the following error message:

DEFAULT CATCH!, code=fffffff6 at *SRR0:   ff809f10  *SRR1:   0000b030

BTW, the asterick above was used in place of the actual character 
displayed as I have never seen such a character before and would not 
knowhow to reproduce it.  Looks kind of like a $ sign, but with an extra 
diagonal slash through it.  Hope this helps.

Just a message from Doug...
