To clarify, at a high level, what happens is that: - OpenFirmware finds the first available bootable partition, of Apple_Bootstrap type, in partition 2 of the first disk - *before* the OSX partition. - It runs the ofboot.b script, which presents a menu, to hit 'l' to select yaboot, or 'x' to run osx. - Hitting 'l' runs yaboot from the location specified in ofboot.b, and refers to yaboot.conf in the same partition. - yaboot allows you to make further selection of images configured in yaboot.conf. - Bob's yer uncle.
