Package: yaboot-runtime Provides: bootloader-runtime Priority: optional Version: 1.3.17-1 Source: yaboot Architecture: all Maintainer: Paul A. Whittaker Section: System/Bootstrap Destination: any Description: PowerPC OpenFirmware bootstrap Files needed to bootstrap your system using yaboot. . Intended primarily for "New World" Apple Macintosh machines, but also useful for other OpenFirmware-based PowerPC platforms (such as the Efika). . On Macs, the only supported filesystems are HFS and HFS+ (CD/DVD booting is only possible using a special hybrid HFS/ISO9660 format). The Efika can boot straight from Ext2/3 and ISO9660. . Both can also boot yaboot over the network using DHCP and TFTP, although in the Macintosh case this is difficult because of OEM DHCP extensions and RFC non-compliance. . N.B. In /boot/ofboot.b, you must change "__BOOTDEV__" to one of "hd" (disk), "cd" (CD/DVD), or "enet" (network) before use. DIET-PC assembly scripts will do this automatically.
