I recently updated my MacOS X to 10.3.8 and after that my boot manager was1. Boot into Linux (for example by holding the option key at boot time).
lost! There was no boot menu anymore, nothing but starting MacOS by
default. How can I install yaboot again, without a complete reinstallation
of my whole system?
2. Make sure your /etc/yaboot.conf is correctly configured.
3. run "ybin -v"
At least that did work for me after playing around with that disk-util of OSX.
Okay, I see. I did not made myself clear.
After that update, there was no prompt anymore, where I could enter "l" or "x". The only thing which came, was the apple logo and OS X booting.
My thought of repairing this was to boot with a live-cd, access the linux, grab my old configuration and do another run of ybin -v -C /new/path/to/yaboot.conf.
But that failed. Yaboot complains about a ofpath, which could not be found. So, I finally gave up and installed new.
The next time I update OS X, I want to avoid this procedure. Is there any chance to?
