AFAIK it's possible from within OpenFirmware. But there are no easy

OpenFirmware commands.
Probably you will also need a HFS partition with yaboot on it on your
stick because OpenFirmware can only read from HFS.
Conclusion: While I believe it's possible in theory it's certainly not
an easy thing to do. Sorry I don't have any links ready, but I remember
that Colin Watson booted his Powerbook from a USB device.
I did before but I had the wrong initrd.gz. It was configured to
install from net. It worked but not what I wanted. I want to create a
Live/Rescue USB pendrive.
I googled it but all of the links I found so far are for x86. Sigh.

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.
I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.
