Thanks to everyone's help I now have testing installed on my ibook2. In the process though I have exceeded the 15-partition limit (partion-map + drivers + bootstrap + swap + root + linux/macos share + os9 + osx + 2 extras added when you install osx on ufs). Sure enough, osx (on partition 16) is inaccessable from yaboot, although it still seems to boot (albeit slowly) from the graphical menu.
I prefer yaboot (if nothing else, it's a _lot_ quicker); to elminate some partitions I was thinking of merging the 9 and x parititions in one hfs+ and just using the software restore disks to get both os in the same partition. My question: is it still possible to specify in yaboot.conf macos= and macosx= being the same partition, or is it neccessary to boot into one, change the startup disk and reboot?
