Hi Ron,
Thanks for your help..
Just tried your suggestion...got screen with options, selected partition with OSX on slave drive, then it started OSX boot process, see gray apple as before, then get circle with slash in it after a minute....
Really think I need to do the update to 'pdisk' thing... so still need to figure out right way to identify Linux hard drive partition...please see my recent post with latest fdisk output....
Thanks,
Mark
