Hi,
IMO one of the biggest drawback of yaboot is that by default it's both
openfirmware and linux device names dependent.

Example:
I'm using a firewire drive (sda). if I move it to a different box it
doesn't boot (not the same of name), same if I switch on SCSI drives
(not the same linux device).

But yaboot has no pb with:
root="UUID=aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee"
in yaboot.conf and

: bootyaboot " Loading..." .printf 100 ms load-base release-load-area
" &device;:12,\\yaboot" $boot ;
in chrp script.

Any known drawback?

Didier
