Derrik,
Can you tell us where the syntax and semantics for this stuff is
documented -- what one puts after "boot" in talking to Open
Firmware, and how it interacts with the related environment
variables?
I would add that the documentation appears to be wrong on this.
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/powerpc/ch-rescue-boot.en.html
Yes, that documentation is out-of-date and often just-plain-wrong.
Frequently, the i386 version bleeds over into the PowerPC
sections -- probably because there isn't any good PPC documentation
to take it's place.
Re-writing the PPC-speccific portion is a project that I'd love to
have the time to undertake. I'm currently trying to gather
background knowledge and suggestions for when I finally do get into
it. That's why I asked Derrik if he had any pointers to useful
documentation.
All pointers gratefully accepted!
Rick
