ybin 1.2 and BSD booting



Hi, 

to those wondering about dual booting NetBSD,

ybin 1.2 now supports `bsd=<device>' where <device> is either a /dev
node or OF device name.  this should be set to either the NetBSD
bootstrap partition, or ybin's bootstrap partition.  if you set it to
ybin's bootstrap partition you will need to copy yourself netbsd's
ofwboot.elf bootloader binary to the root level of the bootstrap
partition, as this is where the boot menu will look for it.  

future versions of ybin will support installing this binary directly,
as well as support running on Net/OpenBSD hopefully.  (that depends on
how soon i can 1) get ahold of a BSD, and 2) get it to boot on my
blue G3)

debian sid packages should be forthcoming RSN.
