You probably can't do that, because mac os x requires a certain kind of
partition...can't remember what it's called...but instead of just free
space it needs to be specially optimized for os x. When I installed a
dual boot system...i loaded os x on first and made special partitions
for x and left the rest as free space for linux. For more information,
go on the yellowdoglinux.com and look for the YDL installation guide.
It's really easy to install os x first and then YDL, take it from
someone who isn't real experienced with partitioning.

Hi Bob -
No, I didn't not create a partition for OSX before installing linux. I
don't mind wiping the disk and reinstalling - but shouldn't I be able
to boot from the OSX install disks even without a valid osx partition?

Hello Lacinda,
Did you create a partition for OS X before installing linux? It sounds
as if you did not - or if you did, you may have chosen the wrong
partition type. Unfortunately, I don't know of any partitioning tools
in linux that will allow you to create this partition now, so unless
someone else can help, you may need to start from scratch and
partition properly before reinstalling linux and then installing OS X.
Good luck!
-Bob
