Yaboot and 10.3 Panther

[David C. Hacker, DVM]

You have to use yaboot whether it loads directly at startup or after 
holding down the option key.  It is the program that tells the computer 
where the kernel is and how to load it.  If you want to restore yaboot 
to loading on every boot you can try zapping the pram by holding down 
command-option-P-R until it chimes three times or boot YDL by holding 
down the option key and then when you get booted open a terminal and as 
root run ybin -v to rebless the bootstrap partition.
