Wow Larry, I am impressed:-) Well OK, fairly impressed. Now I can  
boot into Ubuntu, but OS X is still a no go. Yaboot simply can't load  
OS X. it tries, and the screen flickers, but nothing happens. After  
three tries, it says something like booting "Mac OS X..." and nothing  
works, so I have to do a hard reboot.

Any ideas will be appreciated. I am glad Ubuntu can boot, but I need  
to be able to boot both OS's and unplugging the hard drive every time  
I switch OS can't be an option.

When I get this sorted, then I can get down to sorting Ubuntu out.  
Windfarm, among other things isn't working :-(

Oh yeah, my path was as follows:

/ht at 0,f2000000/pci at 3/k2-sata-root at c/k2-sata at 0/disk at 0:

Cheers,

Brian
