I would like to thank everybody that replied. I have now read
a good deal of documentation on generating the bootable CD,
but I still have some questions:
1 - After I create a blessed directory (with the -hfs-bless
option of mkisofs) containing yaboot, yaboot.conf, vmlinux
and a ramdisk suitable, how will OpenFirmware know that
upon pressing "c" it will have to load yaboot? Is it
because the pair type/creator of yaboot is boot/UNIX?
2 - is the ofboot.b file necessary for booting?
Thanks for all help so far, Roger...
