you should read all the man pages, especially the ones in sid's yaboot
package they are quite informative ;-)

thats why it worked then.  manual image loading worked fine until 0.9,
which is when IBM got thier hands on yaboot and screwed that part up
;-)

1.0 and later fixed the problem.  so if you have upgraded to 2.2r3 you
will have yaboot 0.9 now, i would suggest upgrading to the yaboot
package in sid so you will have that feature in the future if need
be.
