mmm... if i understand correctly, you have not modified the 
/etc/yaboot.config file.


so, open a terminal and write:

	% sudo pico /etc/yaboot.config

edit the line

	"defaultos=Linux"

in
	"defaultos=macosx"

exit and save pressing "Ctrl-x" and "y"

now write:
	% sudo ybin

done!

now you can reboot the machine and you will see to boot it in OSX. But 
you will abe to boot in Linux pressing L at the black screen with the 
question about witch OS you want to run.
