Hello all,
I've been unsuccesfully trying to setup my computer to use yaboot for a few
hours now, fooling around in OF. So my first question is: is yaboot only
for the newworld machines, or does it work for older G3s as well? (no point
on continuing if it does not support these, as I do not have a G4).

Do you have any magic tricks to conjure the right name for my /dev/hde?
Should it be a number (like hd5), or what? I tried giving OF the ide0/@0:0
deal, but then I don't know which zero should be replaced by my partition
number, and which is the one designating the drive itself. I tried a lot of
different combinations, none of which would make it boot.
So any help would be welcomed ^-^
thanks
Cyril
