I tried using a yaboot.conf like I had with my YDL, (the YDl and suse are on
other machines btw), and part of my problem seems to be that vmlinux is over
in the linux side with LinuxPPC, and it's on an HFS partition with the
others. root is /hda/12 macOS is /hda/9 the boot partition, (that contains
yaboot and the fake system folder) is hda/10, and swap is /hda/11.
thanks,
Brent.
