Yaboot problem on G5 powerpc Ubuntu Mate 16.04

$

I have upgraded to Ubuntu Mate 16.04 on my PowerPC (ppc) G5 Powermac. This is great, and I plan to use it as my primary operating system, but I still need easy access to OSX 10.5 Leopard. I can still access it by holding down the option key but this is slow. Unfortunately Yaboot no longer recognises OSX. Can anyone tell what is wrong with my yaboot.conf file?

My yaboot.conf looks like this:
Quote:

## yaboot.conf generated by the Ubuntu installer
##
## run: "man yaboot.conf" for details. Do not make changes until you have!!
## see also: /usr/share/doc/yaboot/examples for example configurations.
##
## For a dual-boot menu, add one or more of:
## bsd=/dev/hdaX, macos=/dev/hdaY, macosx=/dev/hdaZ

boot=/dev/sda9
partition=17
root=/dev/sda17
timeout=100
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
enablecdboot
macosx=/dev/sdb10

image=/boot/vmlinux
partition=17
label=Linux
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="quiet splash"

image=/boot/vmlinux.old
label=old
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.img.old
append="quiet splash"
After years of having various Linux distributions installed my partition map is a mess:

Code:
