do you have a separate boot partition (for linux) with a working system folder? If so, use the startup disk system pref to reboot OR Boot off the CD
Yes, I have separate 30Mb boot partition for Linux, as the manual suggest should be created, but that partition is empty, there's no system folder in it. When I go to System Prefs > Startup Disk on OS X, that "boot" partition is not one of the ones listed there.
Did you configure /etc/lilo.conf? did you run the command lilo? On the OS X side you can also edit the yaboot.conf directly (Lilo automatically does this for you so it will change when you run lilo in linux)
I didn't run LILO after the installation had finished, as I thought the installer would handle all the required changes on regarding to booting LILO and yaboot. Is there a way to boot from the CD and do the required changes on LILO and yaboot? How do I get the boot file into the boot partition? Thanks for your help Pedro

Quoting Pedro Ziviani
: I've installed SuSE Linux 7.1 on my Firewire PowerBook G3 and it run fine right after the installation. However, the next time I restarted the computer, it booted straight into MacOS X, without me pressing any
key on the keyboard. How can I boot into Linux now? And how can I fix yaboot/LILO so that I can choose between systems on boot time?
Thanks
Pedro
