MBR = Master Boot Record ( I think I encountered the term while using 
Mandrake Linux on an old homegrown PC box I had a few years ago. I guess 
I assumed it was a Linux term.

This sounds right, but if I really, really, really, want to cover all my 
bases, could I view the Linux and/or Mac disks and find the partition 
that contains yaboot and if it happens to be on the Mac disk, remove it? 
If I remove the Linux disk I may try to revive it with "Superscrubber" 
and put it in an Old World all-in-one that I own.

Many thanks to Eric for the tome on Mac boot protocols, etc. etc.
