To boot a IBM pseries (at least the b50) from the cdrom it is necessary to: 1) create a directory /etc in the cdrom and put a yaboot.conf in it 2) use cdrom instead of cd in the device line in yaboot.conf 3) create a /ppc/bootinfo.txt with <chrp-boot> <description>Debian GNU/Linux </description> <os-name>Debian GNU/Linux </os-name> <boot-script>boot &device;:\boot\yaboot.rs6k</boot-script> </chrp-boot>
4) run the addnote program in the yaboot binary. I don't know if the resulting file boots in a pmac. Maybe it is necessary to have two yaboots: yaboot and yaboot.rs6k 5) use the -chrp option with mkisofs Thats all :) Rafael
