Long story short, ever since then when I restart the laptop, I never see yaboot any more... by default it always boots OS X. Further searches online pointed me to holding some combination of keys when the laptop is booting, but there must be a setting somewhere I need to set so by default i hit yaboot and am given the choice which os to boot... any hints?
