Hi Steve,
Thanks for trying to help...
When I hold 'd' at startup I boot into YDL.
When I hold 'd' at startup I boot into OSX, at first see gray apple then a =
circle with diagonal line through it.
Tried command df -k....see terminal text shown below. It shows problem I'm =
having identifying proper hard drive partition to do pdisk update.
Can you or others advise...need to get back into OS X on my desktop Mac...t=
hank goodness I have a iBook as backup....;-)
Thanks!

>=20

Try booting holding the "d" key (default finds first system on disk)
Try booting holding the "x" key (should force os x)
df -k shows partition names
