Re: yaboot on sawtooth G4
My experiences with yaboot_0.5 are getting more interesting the
more I play with it.
I started giving the Open Firmware boot command silly arguments out of
frustration, and got some interesting results. Apparently, I can pick
random files that are sitting right beside yaboot_0.5 on the same HFS
slice, and get a message that indicates that the boot command was at
least able to locate the file, but so far no indication that it can
even find the yaboot_0.5 binary itself...
boot hd:vmlinux.benh.15 <--- silly
load-size=264466 adler32=(something)
Loading ELF
CLAIM failed
ok
boot hd:yaboot.conf <--- very silly
load-size=4b adler32=b24b1919
unrecognized Client Program format
Yet something not so silly yields...
boot hd:yaboot_0.5
Can't open hd:yaboot_0.5
