Maybe I missed something, but I do not run yaboot from a bootstrap-partition. I use a bootscript and have yaboot on the same partition as MacOS 9.x and MacOS X. My Linux-kernels are in the Systemfolder that also contains the bootscript, yaboot and yaboot.conf. Is this boot-method not supported any more? Cause yaboot 1.3.4pre3 can load the yaboot.conf but not the kernels (yaboot 1.3.4pre 1 could not read the yaboot.conf) BTW. This is the first yaboot after version 1.? (well the one with this funny penguin-picture, Ben wrote to me this is a very buggy yaboot, but it works perfectly on my TiPB) that gets to the yaboot-prompt on my TiPB.
