My understanding (and of course I haven't gone up our mast yet) is like so:
If using a halyard, tie it to the bosuns chair using a figure eight loopback (the knot climbers use to tie onto a rope) and then take the tail with the shackle and attach the shackle to the chair as well. That prevents the tail from snaking back through the knot.
When I go up the mast, I'll also use a safety line but it will be tied on to my climbing harness. I don't want the bosuns chair to be the single point of failure.
