No sentenvs
Here's my config file:
default = linux
image = hd:9,\vmlinux
label = vmlinux
root = /dev/hda5
append = "novideo"
image = hd:9,\vmlinuxold
label = vmlinuxold
root = /dev/hda5
append = "novideo"
I keep a trusted kernel in case I need to repair stuff.
Just restart, go into OF and type boot hd etc.
The x in hd:x being the partition where you have your MacOS. Make sure you put
yaboot.tbxi (v 0.5) in you root MacOS "folder" (not in System).
This oughta work
