[ydl-gen] Yaboot problems and YDL 4.0.1

[Joseph E. Sacco, PhD]

The partition "type" for the boot slice is most likely the problem. You
may be able to edit the partition map and change the labels.  Otherwise,
you will need to reformat the drive from within YDL.

First try the following:

        Hold down the option key while cold-booting the MAC. You should
        be presented with the option of selecting the boot device.  If a
        boot disk icon has a penguin on it, select it and continue.
