As far as I know, the open firmware on mac's can only boot HFS, and UFS
partitions, so you will need to have an HFS partition on which to put
yaboot and yaboot.conf and the kernel, but that partition can be pretty
small, not sure how small, I do recall reading something about this in the
YDL Install guide, so maybe check there.
Also, for telnet, there's a line in /etc/inetd.conf that needs to be
un-commented. the line looks something similar to
#telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd
remove the # and then do a kill -HUP of the inetd process and that will
probably do it.
