yaboot.conf: RTFM



I did read the manual. Here's what it told me:

       partition=partno
              Specifies which partition to  use  if  no  explicit
              partition  number  is  given in the image path.  If
              this is not specified, the default is  to  use  the
              first bootable partition on the device.

And also:

      image=path
              Specifies the path for  an  program  which  can  be
              booted.   Options  from  here  until the next image
              option are local options for this program.

Doesn't this imply that if "partition" is left blank, "image" will
be used to determine the default partition? Why is it, then, necessary
to specify "partition", since the behavior of the program as documented
is to determine the value of "partition" from "image" if it is 
available?

Perhaps the FM needs to be corrected.
