Note: It appears that the syntax above doesn't work on all newworld
machines. You should precice the partition number:

" Booting MacOS ..." cr " boot hd:9,\\:tbxi" eval
else
" Booting Yaboot ..." cr " hd:9,\\yaboot" eval

Will tell OF to look for the ROM image and yaboot in the system folder of
partition 9.

I'll try to write some tool for automatically creating this file, but it
will probably be a MacOS-based tool and may require a recent version of
MacOS (9.0 ?). Older versions of MacOS didn't provide a clean way to
figure out the OF path of a device.
