For example, here is the relevant piece from my setup:
boot=/dev/hda9
device=hd:
timeout=50
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
partition=10
root=/dev/hda13
default=Linux
defaultos=linux
init-message="Welcome to Amadeus running Debian GNU/Linux!"
image=/vmlinux
label=Linux
append="video=aty128fb:crt:1"
read-only
And my partition info:
# type name length base ( size ) system
/dev/hda1 Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 ( 31.5k) Partition map
/dev/hda2 Apple_Driver43 Macintosh 54 @ 64 ( 27.0k) Driver 4.3
/dev/hda3 Apple_Driver43 Macintosh 74 @ 118 ( 37.0k) Driver 4.3
/dev/hda4 Apple_Driver_ATA Macintosh 54 @ 192 ( 27.0k) Unknown
/dev/hda5 Apple_Driver_ATA Macintosh 74 @ 246 ( 37.0k) Unknown
/dev/hda6 Apple_FWDriver Macintosh 200 @ 320 (100.0k) Unknown
/dev/hda7 Apple_Driver_IOKit Macintosh 512 @ 520 (256.0k) Unknown
/dev/hda8 Apple_Patches Patch Partition 512 @ 1032 (256.0k) Unknown
/dev/hda9 Apple_Bootstrap bootstrap 2400 @ 1544 ( 1.2M) Unknown
/dev/hda10 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 boot 100000 @ 3944 ( 48.8M) Linux native
/dev/hda11 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap 524288 @ 103944 (256.0M) Linux swap
/dev/hda12 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 home 7556160 @ 628232 ( 3.6G) Linux native
/dev/hda13 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 root 7556161 @ 8184392 ( 3.6G) Linux native
/dev/hda14 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 packages 5734400 @ 15740553 ( 2.7G) Linux native
/dev/hda15 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 build 2104183 @ 21474953 ( 1.0G) Linux native
/dev/hda9 is the bootstrap partition for yaboot
/dev/hda9 is the ext2 partition ofr my kernels (mounted on /boot)
The rest are reiserfs.
