Thanks; that worked perfectly. A screen came up with an icon for my Mac hard drive and a little arrow button. I clicked on the arrow, and it booted the Mac OS. I had no idea you could do that. Thanks.

Now that I can boot to both, does anyone know how (or if) I can mount the Linux hard drive in Mac OS? Apple System profiler recognizes it, but says there are no volumes mounted. Or do I have to use an HFS partition on my Mac drive that can be recognized by Linux?
