[Watford] Hi! Turn out tomorrow?

[David Pead]

Hey Steve,

Thanks for the pointer. My current yaboot.conf file has no defaultos=  
line, so I guess I just add it? Question is where, or does it matter...

yaboot.conf dump below:

boot=/dev/hda2
device=/pci at f2000000/mac-io at 17/ata-4 at 1f000/disk at 0:
partition=3
root=/dev/hda3
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="quiet splash"

image=/boot/vmlinux.old
         label=old
         read-only
         initrd=/boot/initrd.img.old
         append="quiet splash"

See y'all later :D

Dave
