yaboot won't boot under 9.1PPC

 

I just (sucessfully?) installed 9.1 PPC on my ibook. I set it up as a dual-boot system, along with Mac OS 9. Upon configuring the bootloader, yaboot, I was told that I would need to restart and press Command-Option-O-F (etc...), then reboot, if no boot loader was present.

 

Since this was the case, I performed the key combination to enter "Open Firmware" mode. I then entered what I *thought* Mdk told me to:

 

setenv boot-device /pci@f2000000/mac-io@17/ata-4@1f000/disk@0:9,\\:tbxi

 

shut-down

 

I tried the setenv command with and without a space after boot-device to no avail. I either miswrote the command, or got confused with a O or 0, or the like...

 

So, what do I need to enter under Open Firmware to get yaboot rolling???

 

I'm stuck until I can get yaboot to make an appearance!

 

Thanks in advance!!!
