- Setup your bootp server so that it tells OF to load yaboot as the image - Make available in your tftp folder a yaboot.conf file (it will be downloaded by yaboot) - The path used by yaboot for tftp are of the form "enet:0,file" For example: image=enet:0,vmlinux label=linux append=" whatever kernel args..." or image=enet:0,vmlinux label=installer initrd=enet:0,ramdisk.image.gz If you want to netboot, just press "N" key during boot, OF will automatically switch to netboot for you. If you want to set OF to permanently netboot, set your boot-device variable to "enet:0" (or enet alone, but i think it's enet:0) Ben.
