1) Hold down the command+alt+o+f keys on startup, this will drop you into
OpenFirmware. Modify OF variable "boot-device" accordingly.
or boot directly from OF: boot
ultra0:your_HFS_boot_partition_number,\path to yaboot\yaboot
2) Use fake System Folder (you can take it from SuSE Linux), so you can
select your HFS boot partition from "Startup Disk" control panel.
3) Use LILO PPC (also available from SuSE Linux ftp), it will update your
os-chooser, yaboot.conf and Open Firmware.
PS. Some info regarding dual booting available on my web site (Linux Tips
& Tricks).
