From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Date: Sat, 22 Apr 2000 02:00:27 -0500 Subject: yaboot FAQ in-progress From: Eric Peden To: LinuxPPC Dev Message-ID: Mime-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Sender: owner-linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 After seeing a definite need for one, I've started working on a yaboot FAQ. Right now, it's very, very far from complete, but at least one's underway, right? ;) I currently use yaboot on a G4, with yaboot itself stored on an external SCSI device, and the procedure for setting things up is a little more convoluted than it is on most "standard" systems. I need help from some people that have set it up on one of these standard [read: non SCSI-card] systems. Specifically, what procedure did you have to follow to designate the boot device; how did you determine the boot device's OF alias; how is the drive connected to your Mac; stuff like that. If you can help out, please let me know, and of course you'll be given due credit in the FAQ. ;) I'd also like to hear from people who have set up a Zip drive as their boot device, as this seems to be a common request. In addition, I'd love to put even this preliminary version on the web for people to begin looking over and making suggestions, but I'm in a bit of an argument with my ISP right now over whether or not I should have a personal webspace, and as such am currently unable to make the document publicly available (I'm avoiding "free" sites that display banner ads as a matter of principle). If someone would like to donate a (very) small amount of webspace during these early phases of creation, I'd very much appreciate it. Please contact me if you're interested. Waitin' for those mails to start pourin' in. ;) - --eric -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.2 for non-commercial use iQA/AwUBOQFN+6TQUBxXFpjFEQL3MACdGluftU9RqThuqaSqtRqydXUcvr8AoIwC WPeE/oEqN7T33iI4WM5w4hEm =Dkoh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
