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.
