 Edit /etc/yaboot.conf, and change the line that looks like:

macos=/dev/hda11

so that it becomes

macos=/dev/hda9

then run ybin (as root).

 It doesn't disable it, it changes the nvram (PRAM). To get back into YDL
after OS X writes to the PRAM, boot with the option key held down. Then
you can run ybin to set it.

 See item #1 above.
