If the +disk is shared with MacOS it needs to have a MacOS disk driver +partition in which case the first `real' partition will probably be +number 4. + +Edit this script before running ybin or mkofboot. + +If you have G4 hardware then your OpenFirmware may already have a +graphical boot selector built in, this selector can be accessed by +holding down the option key when booting the machine. You should see +a screen with buttons for each bootable partition. This version of +ofboot.b includes a badge icon, the button with a penguin icon is your +bootstrap partition. If you decide to use this built in selector you +really do not need to use dualboot.chrp. Thanks to Nicholas Humfrey +for creating the Badge icon.
