The message= configuration option makes yaboot read the specified filename and print its contents to the screen after init-message and before the boot: prompt. This could be quite useful for distros making bootable CDs so they may include some brief instructions for users.
Please test and report any problems to me, I plan to release 1.3.5 this weekend most likely. ext2/ext3 testing is most needed. http://master.penguinppc.org/projects/yaboot/1.3.5pre/ pre2: - Implement the message= configuration option (see yaboot.conf man page). pre1: - XFS fixes for large partitions (Brendan O'Dea) - Upgrade libext2fs to 1.25, this adds full ext3 support to yaboot. - Reiserfs fixes (Jeff Mahoney) -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
