Hmm. Hold down the option key when you restart the computer. This will
give you the OpenFirmware disk selector. Click on the Mac OS X icon
(if it appears). If it doesn't appear do the following:

Boot into YDL and do the following:

Open a terminal (either ctrl-alt-F1 or open the terminal application
in GNOME/KDE) and type:
su
(enter the root user password)
/sbin/pdisk -l

Post the output of pdisk here. Do you see an Apple_HFS (or HFS) partition?

Eric.
