The option key loader will only work if you have installed ybin (which is not
the case with CS 1.2 or 1.2.1).

There have been important updates to the files used to boot YDL since 1.2. I
suspect that downloading them (from http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/support)
and repeating the bootloader installation section of the *updated* manual
(pages 6.9 and 6.10 - http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/products/guide.shtml) will
solve your problems.
