Subject: /sbin/macos ...self-destruct mechanism?

This question was posted previously by another list memeber, but I
haven't seen a solution so I'll try again:
Out of curiousity, I typed /sbin/macos as root and, as expected, my iMac
restarted into the Mac OS. But when I restarted again there was no prompt
giving me the options to start into Linux, Mac or from a CD. Instead it
just started into my Mac OS. So from this I have two questions...
1.) Has anyone else tried /sbin/macos? And if so, did you have the same
results?
2.) Once this command has wreaked its havok, what can I do to reverse it?
Should I reinstall the boot partition from CD? Or is there a more
specific solution.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'm still feldgling at
sysadmin, so maybe one of you more experienced linux problem solvers will
be able to easily dice this problem up. Thanks,
Carl
