David,
Either should work. The first one will boot you directly to yaboot
where you type linux assuming the label in your config file is
assigned linux.
The second one, after typing boot, will put you in yaboot where you
type linux as above.
My config file looks like this:
init-message = "\nWelcome to Yellow Dog Linux!\nHit <TAB> for boot
options.\n\n"
timeout = 150
default = linux
image = hd:8,\\vmlinux
label = linux
root=/dev/hda9
novideo
My macos partition is 8, my linux partition is 9
hope this helps,
michael
