Hello, i just finished getting all the Bugs worked out of my Ubuntu 7.10 and OS X 10.5 dual boot.

Now when i press my Power Button it boots to Linux. I can still hold Option and boot on the OS X partition but i would prefer it boot to OS X default anybody know how to do this?


Thanks Unix-Man

You must edit the file /etc/yaboot.conf
sudo nano /etc/yaboot.conf
After the first block (after the line macosx=...) add the option
defaultos=macosx
Exit (ctr-X) and say Yes to save the change
Update the bootloader (yaboot) with
sudo ybin -v
For more info you can read this short howto

Do you need to press Opt to get to MacOSX?
At the first Yaboot prompt, you should get a list of the installed OS's.
If it is not so, post here the file /etc/yaboot.conf
