Can't boot into YDL anymore

I installed YDL 2.1 yesterday on my iMac Rev. B. Rebooted a couple of
times, no problem. Left it running YDL overnight, came back, decided
I'd try the snazzy new Mac-on-Linux version. Noticed there was
another hard disk icon on the Mac desktop within MOL; opened it. It
looked like boot magic, so I shrugged my shoulders and assumed that's
the way MOL does things these days.

When I went to reboot my Mac later, I noticed it was displaying a new
icon: a file folder with the Mac OS icon superimposed. Then it booted
directly into Mac OS. I've been pulling my hair out, booting the 2.0
rescue CD and editing my yaboot.conf, but ybin aborts with various
error messages, mostly related to the fact that I'm not running it
from my boot disk (the CD, obviously).

I've tried holding the option key down when I boot, but I still get
the file folder, then the happy Mac, then booting into Mac OS. If I
could only boot into YDL once, I'm sure I could run ybin and
everything would be fine -- but there's the rub.

Seems to me people were having similar problems with one of the new
yaboot versions a couple of months ago, but I can't find relevant
responses (mostly people told them to hold the option key down).

Any sage advice?

Thanks...
