Subject: Dual Booting

Hey folks, I need a ³simple question² answered. After I installed YDL 2.0
Everything was great and dual booting was just fine.
I updated my OSX partition and after running the update I no longer have the
option to dual boot, it just goes straight to the Mac partition.
Iım guessing that during the install of YDL 2.0 that a ³bootloader² was
installed on the bootloader partition and the open firmware was edited to
direct the machine to open a script located on the bootloader partition. Iım
also guessing that doing the update on OSX deleted those open firmware
instructions and thatıs why I am stuck here in Mac-Land with no way other
than booting from the YDL disk and reloading the bootloader, to dual boot.
Since the Mac doesnıt recognize the bootloader partition, I cant see the
name of the file that is telling the machine to dual boot, so I canıt write
instructions to Open firmware to fix the problem. Can someone give me the
solution or tell me what to type in open firmware?
My boot partition is hda9
Osx is hda10
Linux is hda13
Please be gentle with your help Iım new to this stuff.

P.S. Any suggestions about triple booting? I read the posts and other than
Todd Sizemoreıs suggestion, the rest was either over my head or just
ambiguous comments.
