## 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

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.
