my yaboot.conf looks like this
boot=/dev/sdb2
device=/disk@0:
partition=4
root=/dev/sdb4
timeout=100
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot
install=/usr/lib/yaboot
enablecdboot
macosx=/dev/sdb3
image=/boot/vmlinux
label=Linux
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
image=/boot/vimlinux.old
label=old
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd.img.old
i ran devalias and changed device= to /ht@0, f2000000/pci@7/k2-sata-root@c/k2-sata, but that didnt work, so i tried it with /disk@O: at the end, but that didnt work so i tried /ht/pci@7/k2-sata-root/k2-sata@0/disk@0, but that didnt work either.
