I made the mistake of changing a startup disk using the OSX preferences rather than the YDL boot options. This has of course has overridden the YDL startup options, trapping my linux install.

I read the solution to this a few times during installation, but I cannot find any reference regarding how to repair the startup. Anyone have the solution?

Seems that YDL has the solution for you:

Did that work?

Thanks...I looked for that link for a couple of days. Strange that I saw it many times during install but could not find it when I really needed it! If it had been a snake, I would have been in trouble.
