hda2 isn't the mac osx volume - are you sure you have OS X installed. Please attach the output of parted /dev/hda print

Please edit your yaboot.conf to have macosx=/dev/hda3 and rerun ybin The small hda2 hfs partition is From linux you should be able to do mount -t hfsplus /dev/hda3 /mnt Should mount the OS X volume with /Library ,etc For some reason the minor vs the disk order are switched, which may have confused you. Please confirm if that works for you - I hope to have the OS X/OS 9 dual boot patches merged for test2
thanks, all is ok :-) l = linux x = macosx c = enablecdboot o = enableofboot n = enablenetboot
