Hi,<br><br>
I'm using ydl-6 on a playstation 3 and would like to set up a dual boot
using yaboot.<br><br>
The ps3 has the default ydl-6 partitioning:<br><br>
ps3da1 = boot (or bootstrap?) partition<br>
ps3da2 = root partition<br>
ps3da3 = swap<br><br>
I've compiled a cross linux-from-scratch build under /clfs on ps3da2 and
would like to modify yaboot.conf to be able to have the option to boot
from /clfs - note that clfs uses /clfs/sbin/pre-init to take care of the
fact that the build is not under the root ("/")
directory.<br><br>
Is it possible to modify yaboot.conf to achieve the above? I don't have
much experience with ppc/yaboot (as opposed to x86/grub) and the
yaboot.conf below doesn't work for clfs, but does work for the kernels on
ydl-6.<br><br>
Any suggestions would be most welcome.<br><br>
John<br>
