you can type an full path to a image in the boot: prompt, though unfortunatly this is broken on yaboot 0.9, you can also boot a image on the yaboot command line which might work on 0.9 at the boot prompt you can type for example: hd:17,/boot/vmlinux root=/dev/hda17 or on the yaboot command line first boot into OF and type: boot hd:X,yaboot hd:17,/boot/vmlinux root=/dev/hda17 > I was playing with the partition table in order to use > the HD more efficiently.
