open firmware



Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good tutorial on open firmware.  I'm
trying to install Debian on a new Mac G4 and I don't think I'm even
telling the open firmware to start yaboot the right way.  What I think
should work is:
    > boot cd:,\\yaboot

this complains about size being 0.  Next I tried:
    > boot :cd:,\\yaboot

this looks like it's doing something but I can't tell what because it
flashes some text on the screen and then gives a broken monitor icon and
hangs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

Thanks,
Andy
