Ubuntu also uses yaboot. And I am also displeased with it. On
startup, if you dont choose Mac OS X, Ununtu, or CD within like 5
seconds it defaults with Ubuntu. And Ubuntu takes quite a while to
load
on startup. That could be due to the fact that my SCSI disk may only
transfer at a maximum of 10MB/s, Im not sure of its exact speed. Could
be anywhere from 5MB/s to 20MB/s. Anyway, if I could get yaboot to
wait
longer for input and/or default to Mac OS X I would be much happier.

Yep, this can be changed. You should find a conf file for yaboot
possibly in the /etc directory which can be edited with whatever values
you desire. Not totally sure about this as it's been awhile since I
messed with it. A quick google should turn up what you need to know.
I had mine setup to run OSX by default. BTW, nano and/or pico are
excellent text editors in the console mode as they are basically the
same editor and both are easy to use. You will need to be the root
user to save any changes to the file though. You will find Linux to be
very configurable, but the learning curve is naturally a bit steeper.
