TOPIC: Updating yaboot to include OSX

---

Introduction
After installing a new kernel, most likely via yum, you must edit yaboot to include this new kernel in the boot menu.

1. From the command line, as root edit yaboot:

   nano /etc/yaboot.conf [ENTER]

   
   
2. Add the following line:

   macosx=/dev/hda[x]

   ... where "/dev/hda[x]" is the partition that holds OSX, such as "/dev/hda4", such that your yaboot.conf file looks something like the following:

   	# yaboot.conf generated by anaconda
   
   	boot=/dev/hda2
   	init-message="Welcome to Yellow Dog Linux! Hit  for boot options."
   	partition=5
   	timeout=30
   	install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
   	magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
   	delay=10
   	enablecdboot
   	macosx=/dev/hda4
   
   	image=/vmlinux-2.6.15-rc5.ydl.1
   		label=linux
   		read-only
   		initrd=/initrd-2.6.15-rc5.ydl.1.img
   		root=/dev/hda6
   		append="rhgb quiet"
   

3. Commit the changes:

   ybin [ENTER]

   
   
4. Reboot.
