I'm trying to start the debian installer (woody - 3.0.16).
Therefore I'm using the following yaboot.conf
device=enet:
partition=0
timeout=50
init-message="Debian GNU/Linux Network boot"
enableofboot
enablecdboot
enablenetboot
image=linux
label=install
initrd=images-1.44/root.bin
initrd-size=8192
append="video=ofonly"
I think this should be correct as I saw it in some howto.

I tried it either way. I also passed it on the boot: prompt.
Seems to have no effect on what's going on:
ERASE timeout on NVRAM
DO-QUIESCE finishedbooting...
