    Ok, if it were me, I'd be tempted to go back into the shell of /dev/hda11, and then issue:

    Code:
    mkofboot -v -C /etc/yaboot.conf
    Note that this is very similar to the ybin command for syntax, and I'd answer 'yes' to the prompt.

    I'm starting to wonder if those manual partitionings you did might be suspect. Perhaps it's time to call in the more brainier guys than me.

    I'd be tempted myself to go farther with the mkofboot command, but I'd be prepared to just start the whole thing over with a 50-50 install of OSX first, and then followed by Ubuntu.

    If you aren't up to that, or don't want to mess with the mkofboot command and possibly losing stuff, hang in for the real brains in this outfit....

    OK, thanks for your help- I just guess I'll have to reinstall Ubuntu.
