it's a patch i got from gentoo.
http://cruxppc.org/viewvc/opt/branches/2.7/yaboot/chrpfix.patch?revision=1989&view=markup
It applies util/addnote to make available a new yaboot.chrp. Actually i don't have an old IBM Chrp32 to test it.
Anyway i use to dd this yaboot.chrp in my PReP Boot partition on our pseries (POWER4+ and POWER5) and our YDL Powerstation. It works but i guess that it really affect only old rs6k 32bit machines.
