## yaboot.conf generated by debian-installer


##
## run: "man yaboot.conf" for details. Do not make changes until you have!!
## see also: /usr/share/doc/yaboot/examples for example configurations.
##
## For a dual-boot menu, add one or more of:


## bsd=/dev/hdaX, macos=/dev/hdaY, macosx=/dev/hdaZ

boot=/dev/hdb2
device=/pci at f2000000/mac-io at 17/ata-4 at 1f000/disk at 1:
partition=3
root=/dev/hdb3
timeout=50
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot


enablecdboot

image=/boot/vmlinux
        label=Linux
        read-only
        initrd=/boot/initrd.img
        append="video=ofonly"

image=/boot/vmlinux.old
        label=old
        read-only


        initrd=/boot/initrd.img.old
        append="video=ofonly"
~                                     


What does not work:

>boot hd:6,ofwboot.xcf /bsd

>boot ultra1:6,ofwboot.xcf /bsd



>boot /pci at f2000000/mac-io at 17/ata-4 at 1f000/disk at 1:6, ofwboot.xcf /bsd

I've dd'ed ofwboot to hdb5.

Not sure as to how to enter the information into yaboot.conf.

Sorry about the copy and paste from another mailing list but, there seems to be no one and very little information as to setting up my system.

I have debian, netbsd, and oipenbsd installed on the machine, each has a bootstrap partition before it.
I have room to install freebsd.
I have space left over- 60G- for one more system.

The freebsd bootloader is recognized by open firmware, netbsd and openbsd do not have such available.
I found an email from 2001 by ??@alaska.net on multibooting with netbsd.
