using the kboot from Geoff,  the 2.6.23 kernel on the addon disk from 
his site,  my machines (four PS3's) have FC7 running on them. One of 
them has a separate /boot, the others do not.

What the kboot IS looking for is

/etc/yaboot.conf

on ALL of these machines since there is no kboot.conf in the /etc/ 
directory and "kboot" from  cat /etc/kboot.conf at the kboot prompt is a 
translation of yaboot into kboot format.
