Re: munged yaboot.conf

I'm curious as to how it was done by someone else on this list back in
February.  By what they wrote in the thread, they seemed to be able to
access the yaboot.conf from a shell obtained from the installer after
mounting the drive.  I need to do the same thing on my system since I
installed debian on the 2nd drive.  Here's the reference:
