Thanks for the info.  But could you clarify something for me?

According to this:
   http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/inst/yaboot-howto/ch8.en.html
I'm supposed to run 'ybin' to activate any changes I've made to
yaboot.conf.  You didn't mention ybin, which makes me wonder the
following:

I had been thinking of the boot process something like this:
    kboot --> yaboot --> FC7

But is it actually the case that kboot, rather than actually executing
yaboot, actually does the work of yaboot by itself interpreting
yaboot.conf?  So is it actually:
   kboot (which reads yaboot.conf) --> FC7 ?
