## Example yaboot.conf for ybin and yaboot >= 0.6
## see man yaboot.conf for more details.
## This example shows how to multi boot GNU/Linux, MacOS, MacOSX, and
## Darwin with SCSI disks. This example also creates menu items for
## booting from the CDROM, the Network and into an OpenFirmware
## prompt.
## Change to your bootstrap partition ie: /dev/sda2
boot=unconfigured
## device is the OpenFirmware device path to the disk containing
## kernel images. if your disk is /dev/hda you can find the
## OpenFirmware path by running the command: ofpath /dev/hda
device=/pci@80000000/pci-bridge@d/ADPT,2930CU@2/@1:
## partition is the partition number where the kernel images are
## located. The kernel images should be on your root filesystem, so
## this is usually the same partition number as your root filesystem.
## so if root = /dev/hda3 (the 3rd partition) then you should have
## partition=3 This *MUST* be set correct or yaboot won't boot! This
## option can be either set globally as shown here, or per image in
## the image= sections.
partition=3
## delay is the amount of time in seconds the dual boot menu (if one
## is configured, by the presense of macos, macosx, etc options here)
## will wait before choosing the default OS (GNU/Linux or the value of
## defaultos=). If you omit this then the value of timeout=
## (converted to seconds) will be used.
delay=10
## timeout is the amount of time in tenths of a second that yaboot
## will wait before booting the default kernel image (the first image=
## section in this config file or the value of default=).
timeout=20
install=/usr/local/lib/yaboot/yaboot
magicboot=/usr/local/lib/yaboot/ofboot
## Change the default colors, fgcolor is the text color, bgcolor is
## the screen background color. (default: fgcolor=white, bgcolor=black)
fgcolor=black
bgcolor=green
## Password supplied in plaintext, required for yaboot to boot, unless
## restricted is also present (see below). Be sure to
## chmod 600 /etc/yaboot.conf if you set this!
#password=secret
## Password supplied as an md5 hash, see above
#password=$1$saltstri$WHZcnT3IOdSrMvizOq7Ht1
## A password is only required to boot an image specified here if
## parameters are specified on the command line or if the user enters
## an image is not specified in the configuration file at all (ie.
## arbitrary file load). restricted can also be placed in an image
## section in that case any image not including the restricted keyword
## will be fully password protected.
#restricted
## image is the kernel itself, commonly kept in / but also commonly
## found in /boot. Note that /boot should generally not be its own
## partition on powerpcs, its not necessary and complicates things.
## Make sure /boot is on the partition specified by partition= see
## above. /boot should never be an HFS filesystem. You may point
## image= to a symbolic link so long as the symlink does not cross
## partition boundries.
image=/vmlinux
label=Linux
root=/dev/sda3
read-only
image=/vmlinux.old
label=Linux.old
root=/dev/sda3
read-only
## The {macos,macosx,darwin} variables can be either a unix /dev node or an
## OpenFirmware path, as shown here:
## if you have the bsd bootloader installed on ybin bootstrap
## partition as ofwboot.elf
bsd=/dev/sda2
## unix node
macos=/dev/sda8
## OpenFirmware path, this would likely be /dev/sda9 if you used a
## unix node instead.
macosx=/pci@80000000/pci-bridge@d/ADPT,2930CU@2/@1:9
darwin=/pci@80000000/pci-bridge@d/ADPT,2930CU@2/@1:10
## Add a menu entry to boot from the CDROM:
enablecdboot
## Add a menu entry to boot from the Network:
enablenetboot
## Add a menu entry to boot into an OpenFirmware prompt:
enableofboot
