Problem with boot

[Colin Ward]

You could of course just hold the option key at boot, select the disk icon
with the penguin, that will bring up yaboot and allow you to boot into
linux.  

Then use "ybin -v" (or /sbin/ybin -v) to re-bless the partition. You can
then forget about having to use the install cd and booting to rescue mode.

NEVER use Startup Disk in OSX

You need to boot off the YDL Install 1 disc into rescue mode, and
reinstall yaboot from there. You'll need to mount the partition you
have as /boot for Linux, check that the yaboot.conf file is intact,
and rerun /sbin/ybin
