I now have one problem left. The triple-booter works fine for MacOS 9 and Linuxppc (via yaboot), but when I try to boot MacOS X I have the following problem... After an install of ybin (I've reinstalled it a few times) selecting "x" will result in some disk activity the first time I press "x". Then return me to ybin's boot menu. Pressing "x" every time after boots me into my MacOS 9 partition as if I pressed "m" or let the system boot to default (it doesn't cycle after that first time). I'm wondering if ybin hasn't been updated to MacOS X Beta yet or is something wrong? OS X is installed on partition 16 on my system and boots fine if I use Apple's boot disk app to set it as the boot volume. Additionally, I tried "boot hd:16,\\:tbxi" which is what I thought the boot menu was trying to do. I get an error message and nothing happens (I might be wrong though, I'm still learning what these scripts do). Any help? Suggestions? Thanks! ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
