| ## Example yaboot.conf for ybin and yaboot >= 0.6 |
| ## see man yaboot.conf for more details. |
| |
| ## Change `unconfigured' to your bootstrap partition ie: /dev/hda2 |
| 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 DO NOT |
| ## specify a partition number for this! This is generally not |
| ## necessary for IBM hardware |
| |
| #device=hd: |
| |
| ## 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 |
| |
| ## 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 |
| |
| ## nonvram is required for IBM hardware currently since ofpath does |
| ## not support them, it is also probably not necessary. |
| |
| nonvram |
| |
| ## 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=$1$saltstrg$HnJ/gcM3oKhNbnzUPgXTD/ |
| |
| ## 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 |
