This happened to me too.  I have a 400mhz G4 (AGP Graphics) and two HDD.  My Master had YDL 2.3 and the slave OSX, OS9.  During the YDL 3.0 instal it said some thing about fix partition map and even though I thought I was avoiding hdb it stuffed up my X install.  I too can see my OSX partition in OS9 but I can't boot it either with yaboot or with "startup dsik' control panel.  From an OSX recue disk the partitions come up blank but OS9 bots fine.

Am doing a complete reinstall of X

:(

Also my graphic install of 3.0 failed is Geforce4MX32mb supported?
