Hi, <div><br></div><div>Your distro must have compiled it without the netbooting option. Try downloading yaboot from the source and compiling it.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Erlon<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hi,<br><br>I'm booting some Mac G4's into yaboot by Netbooting. Downloading and running linux kernels / initrd's works perfectly fine, but yaboot doesn't display a menu.<br><br>What's happening is when the yaboot executable is transferred via Netboot, instead of displaying the boot menu like it usually does, I just get the Apple Netboot icon in a frozen state. If I hit enter, it starts downloading the kernel / initrd like it normally would and everything is fine from there.<br>
<br>The above problem applies when I hold down the N key when the Mac boots up. If I boot into yaboot on the local hard drive and then Netboot, the menu shows like it normally would.<br><br>Here's the yaboot.conf on the TFTP server:<br>
<br>device=enet:<br>partition=0<br>default=linux<br>image=vmlinuz<br> label=linux<br> read-only<br> initrd=ramdisk.image.gz<br> append="root=/dev/ram0"<br><br>The TFTP server has yaboot, yaboot.conf, vmlinuz and ramdisk.image.gz stored on it.<br>
<br>Is there a way to get yaboot to display the menu like it normally does when Netbooting?<br>
