I assume that yaboot allows to choose from several kernels,
so having different kernel available for booting is possible.
Yes, I have at some moment a kernel for gentoo and one for Debian,
both working fine.
d-i has a "os-detect-compoment" that can "see" allready installed
operating systems.
I know, but I don't know how this information is used on ppc.
The only obstacle I see that _can_ block "triple boot",
is the size of the (single) boot partition.
True, but I was asking if d-i knows how to handle this issue.
In other words: dive into the PowerPC test installations
Probably that is a good idea, but I don't feel like screwing my
current yaboot configuration on my workstation (I am still aliterate
when it comes to yaboot configuration).
