Hey Adrian -

You probably still have the yaboot (Apple_Bootstrap) partition on your 
drive. If you're not all that concerned with that 1 MB yaboot partition 
actually existing, all you have to do is reset the startup disk via the 
Startup Disk Control Pane. Be warned - if you ever reset the nvram, you 
may be shuffled back to yaboot.

To get rid of the problem permanently, use pdisk to delete that 
partition. That will still leave the 1 MB partition, but will make it 
free space, making it unbootable after an nvram reset.

(If that 1 MB free partition bothers you just floating around you will 
need to repartition).
