Upgraded to 10.2 and now my boot screen is gone

I recently upgraded to Jaguar(10.2), after I did this the boot screen that asks which partition you want to boot does not show up. Instead there is a grey screen with an apple in the middle.

Anyone have a similar problem? How do I get my yaboot screen back?

I would think the easiest way would be to boot from the gentoo cd again. refer to the install guide; mount up your disc partitions (at least the ones containing /etc, /boot, and maybe /usr), chroot, and follow the install guide for installing yaboot. at least this time you don't have to write a yaboot.conf file, you already have one in /etc.

You can also boot holding down command-option-OF into Open Firmware, and try to boot Gentoo out of OF, but zojas' way is probably easier.

All you have to do is hold down command + option + OF to get to the Open Firmware prompt. Then use this command:

setenv boot-device hd:X,\\:tbxi

X is the boot partition you already set up.

Then use "mac-boot" to boot into that partition.

I just reset my OpenFirmware and everything was better, my boootstrap partition is my 2nd partition on the disk.

Thanks,
I ended up using intastella's way and everything is back up and running.
