Yaboot config

[jcayo11]

I have just dual-booted ubuntu and OS X on an eMac.
Everything works just fine on both OSs.
Only question, how do I get OS X to be the default OS instead of ubuntu.

Here is the ubuntu one

man yaboot
and
man yaboot.conf
should provide you with all the info you need. Don't underestimate the man pages...

The PPC arch doesn't and can't use Grub, it uses Yaboot. Open your yaboot.conf and there make sure there's a line

defaultos=macosx

Still not working.
I am really new to linux.

Here is my current yaboot.conf:

boot=/dev/hda2
device=/pci@f4000000/ata-6@d/disk@0:
partition=3
root=/dev/hda3
timeout=100
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
enablecdboot
macosx=/dev/hda4
defaultos=macosx

image=/boot/vmlinux
label=Linux
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="quiet splash"

image=/boot/vmlinux.old
label=old
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.img.old
append="quiet splash"

Could use any help you guys can give.

Hello jcayo

Arter adding that in yaboot.cong (i mean, "defaultos=macosx"), you should simply write "ybin" in the command line and press enter in order that yaboot write the changes you did at "yaboot.conf"

I hope you understand my poor english :-?

Yeah, make sure you run ybin in a terminal window to register(?) your new config file. Then everything should work ok.

I just figured out ybin last nite, after 2 weeks of searching on the internet :???:

Thanks I will give that a try :)
