That's not an option with yaboot. What you can do is have more than one
Linux kernel installed, but then you choose "l" for linux, THEN you can type
in one of the different kernels you have installed. That's what I did with
my installation:

You (and everyone else on the list) might also enjoy reading my cover story
in the January issue of Linux World Magazine, where I talk in depth about my
experiences turning a perfectly good PowerBook into a tri-boot system. See
http://www.linuxworld.com/mag/ or check on the newsstand.
