    You must edit the file /etc/yaboot.conf
    Code:
    sudo nano /etc/yaboot.conf
    After the first block (after the line macosx=...) add the option
    Code:
    defaultos=macosx
    Exit (ctr-X) and say Yes to save the change
    Update the bootloader (yaboot) with
    Code:
    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
