Hi Dave,
here is what i do to build a qemu bootable iso image with yaboot:
# mkisofs -hfs -part -map etc/maps -no-desktop -hfs-volid "BBOS_Boot_CD"
-hfs-bless iso_fs/boot -r -o bbos.iso iso_fs
while the filesystem in iso_fs looks like:
./boot
./boot/ofboot.b
./boot/yaboot
./boot/yaboot.conf
./boot/vmlinux
ofboot.b:
<CHRP-BOOT>
<COMPATIBLE>
MacRISC
</COMPATIBLE>
<DESCRIPTION>
text
</DESCRIPTION>
<BOOT-SCRIPT>
" screen" output
load-base release-load-area
boot cd:,\boot\yaboot
</BOOT-SCRIPT>
</CHRP-BOOT>
end: ofboot.b:
yaboot.conf:
# It is important not to have a comma after cd:
device=cd:
default=bbos
timeout=100
image=/boot/vmlinux
label=linux
read-only
end: yaboot.conf:
etc/maps:
# EXTN XLate CREATOR TYPE Comment
.b Raw 'UNIX' 'tbxi' "bootstrap"
yaboot Raw 'UNIX' 'boot' "bootstrap"
linux Raw 'UNIX' 'boot' "kernel"
vmlinux Raw 'UNIX' 'boot' "kernel"
.conf Raw 'UNIX' 'conf' "bootstrap"
root.bin Raw 'UNIX' 'root' "root_image"
* Raw 'UNIX 'UNIX' "unix"
end: etc/maps:
the yaboot image is a normal yaboot binary. If you need an initrd and
things like that you will have to put them in your filesystem and
yaboot.conf as well..
i boot now with
# qemu-system-ppc -S -s -nographic -cdrom boot_fs/ppc/bbos.iso -boot d
(this enables debugging possibilities and other things...)
regards, joerg
