I've got a yaboot related question: has anyone been able to boot from a
drive configured as a slave drive? I understand about substituting
"ultra1:" for "hd:" at the OF and Yaboot prompt, but the kernel dies part
way through when it can't open the root filesystem. Works fine when
booting from the drive when configured as master.
