Ok,
In reply to my own problem, I've been able to get the bootscript running by
placing it in the root of my mac hd and setting the
Setenv boot-device hd:,bootscript
So I don't have to type \
Now problem is all I get is
Welcome to yaboot 0.8
And then nothing, and I have to hit the reset button(reset-hole actually on
my imac)
When I use the yellowdogcd to start yaboot works fine, so why does it crash
when run from the hd?
Anyone knows?
Thanks,
Maurice
