[Mac-on-linux-devel] [OT] about CHRP scripts

[didier <di...@gm...>]

Hi

Not really a mol issue but I'm trying to understand something about
forth script and yaboot:

The biggest issue with yaboot is that it's 'machine dependent ' ie if
you move the disk devices in ofboot.b and yaboot.conf will be wrong.

linux can uses  root=UUID=9b33962f-8b9a-4b9a-9236-bc438c061cd0
and it works in yaboot.conf if you quote UUID=
root="UUID=9b33962f-8b9a-4b9a-9236-bc438c061cd0"

The PPCRD liveCD use the syntax &device; in ofboot.b (the CHRP script)
and it works, at least here.

Anyone knows where it's coming from? I searched (quickly) openfirmware
stuff, Apple site and forth sites but didn't find  anything.

And more important anyone knows if it works on all Macs?

Thanks
Didier
