Tom,
yaboot is in Open Firmware, which is not usually reset by Mac OS X installer. To revert to normal firmware settings, you need to "zap PRAM". To do this, restart the computer and hold down the cmd(apple) - option - p - r key combination. After a few seconds of holding down that combination of keys, the computer will spontaneously reboot. Keep holding down those keys until the computer has spontaneously rebooted a total of 3 times.
That should remove yaboot routine from the Open Firmware. If the problem still persists (unlikely) you can edit the open firmware settings, send me a message if you need to know how to do that.
HTH, Peter

Now, another twist: I reinstalled 10.3.7 to get rid of the squirrelly
YDL installation, and, now, I still get the yaboot screen, even tough
YDL is not on the system any more (I did an erase and install, so there
should have been a clean installation of OS X). The yaboot defaults to
Linux, so I end up with having to restart the system if I don't watch
closely enough.
Just a Guess.... Is it possible that on the Install CD of MacOS X there MAY exist a program equivalent to pdisk which could be used to scan the partitions on the drive? If so then you could use it to remove that partition.
