Adrian, thanks for your response. I realize that yaboot isn't maintained and that it doesn't support ext4 filesystems; however, all of my filesystems are ext3. If I have a choice between a product that is unsupported but still works, even if only in a limited way, (such as yaboot, BootX, Penguin), or a supported product that I can't figure out how to configure (GRUB), then I'll pick the unsupported product. But YMMV, as they say. ... > > The problem is that it isn't a "just non-systemd versions".

And if there are only three users who are requesting such a thing, you are absolutely right, it isn't worth the effort. thanks -Stan Johnson
