once you boot into YDL, edit the /etc/yaboot.conf file and change the
default=linux.. to default=macos... where linux.. and macos.. is the label
of your boot partitions (it is defined in the /etc/yaboot.conf file itself).

Hi Paolo,
I have yet to successfully get ydl 3 installed on my pb3400c,
but I believe that I can help you with this. When bootx loads,
press the left arrow key so that booting Mac OS becomes "selected".
You may also need to click on the "save" settings button to make
it permanent.
