This doesn't seem to do the trick. Here's my /etc/yaboot.conf file's first block of options with the line added:

boot=/dev/hdb2
device=/pci at f2000000/pci-bridge at d/mac-io at 7/ata-4 at 1f000/disk at 1:
partition=3
root=/dev/hdb3
timeout=100
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
enablecdboot
macosx=/dev/hda9
defaultos=macosx

When I boot, if I don't select 'x' for OS X, it will boot in Linux. Any ideas?

Thanks
Brett
