Basic Input Output System.  The BIOS starts your computer's boot and
mediates between the OS and hardware.

I don't know how to do it for any Mac computers.  When you start the
boot, look for something like "Press F11/Ctrl. Alt Delete for computer
setup/BIOS/etc."

  and which partition do I set it to boot

No, I would guess the partition where yaboot is installed (probably the
main partition of your Ubuntu install).
