YDL 4 and partition map problems

[Daniel Gimpelevich]

/dev/hda1 must always be the partition map entry, not the bootstrap
partition. It seems you have deleted the partition map itself. The only way
to correctly recreate it now would be to reformat the whole drive under
MacOS, and then start over with Linux.
