Well, yaboot did not manage to get the kernel over the
"returning 00010000 from prom_init" line... Loading the kernel image
directly from OpenFirmware instead of yaboot gives one an easy start but
is not as easily manageable as with yaboot. Of course, I could set up a
FAT formatted /boot partition and tell OpenFirmware which kernel image to
load. A better solution is, however, to fix yaboot... ;-)
Salut
