[ydl-gen] YDL & Tiger dual boot

Well at least you know your system is working properly, that is exactly 
what should happen given what you did :-)

The Tiger installation over-wrote yaboot on the boot sector of your 
drive. Had you installed the OSes in the opposite order you would be OK 
(I think).

Anyway, I believe if you simply boot into YDL and run ybin it should 
replace yaboot and things should run OK.
