I found that you have to hack yaboot to increase its TFTP buffer size. Look for LOAD_BUFFER_SIZE in second/fs_of.c; 0x500000 will do. Apparently yaboot 2.0 will have this fixed properly, but perhaps I should file a bug to have the buffer size increased a bit for sarge. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
