| This utility is used to find the OpenFirmware device path to a unix |
| device node (ie /dev/hda2). |
| |
| Ofpath will work on Newworld PowerMacs only if yaboot is used as the |
| bootloader, it will not work on newworld macs booted with BootX. |
| |
| Ofpath will also work on most Oldworld PowerMacs, unlike Newworld, it |
| will work on BootX booted Oldworld machines. Note that oldworld |
| support is not well tested and may not give accurate results. |
| |
| ofpath supports the following command line switches: |
| |
| --debug print boring junk only useful for debugging |
| -h, --help display this help and exit |
| -V, --version output version information and exit |
| |
| Ybin will use this utility automatically to find the OpenFirmware |
| device path when macos=, macosx= are set to unix device nodes in |
| /etc/yaboot.conf, and/or if ofboot= is not defined. |
| |
| ofpath is based on show_of_path.sh written by Olaf Hering, this |
| version unlike show_of_path.sh works with /bin/ash and is fully |
| functional on stripped down systems such as boot or rescue floppies. |
| It has been tested on the Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 (potato) boot |
| floppies. |
