I tried several scripts just like this one. So my yaboot.conf seems to be |
| 2 |
ok. After the second boot prompt when I choose the linux kernel, I get |
| 3 |
tossed into open firmware. OF has the correct boot partition set. My root |
| 4 |
dir. has /boot, which has vmlinux in it. I don't have the symlink to |
| 5 |
/vmlinux though. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Whatever ybin put on the boot partition is all I have there. No kernel |
| 8 |
images or anything. |

|
| 10 |
I must be missing something somewhere! |

|
| 12 |
Thanks for any further suggestions. |

It's in /boot. I've got /boot/vmlinux symlinked to /vmlinux. |

yabootconfig is definitely your friend. Once I had the boot partition set |
| 54 |
up, yabootconfig set it all up and I didn't have to do anything. |
