Hmmm, not trying to insult you but could this possibly be pilot error? Are
you absolutely sure that yaboot is on partition 9?
Try this:
boot hd:9,\\:tbxi
and see if the Mac OS boots off that drive (don't forget the colon). If it
does not then there is a problem somewhere.
I believe that you can put yaboot (and the other files) on the root of the
drive itself (i.e. not in the system folder) and you can try:
boot hd:x,\yaboot
where x is the partition.
This stuff can be a real pain I know. I've just been through it all with my
new powerbook. Now I have to go through all the configuration problems with
X windows and the like. Ugh.
