If you're not using BootX, you'll need to
1. Initialize your bootstrap partition (with mkofboot)
2. Edit the yaboot.conf file for your configuration
3. Install yaboot on the bootstrap partition (with ybin)
4. (in my experience) Mount the bootstrap partition and stick a kernel
on it that matches the yaboot.conf
5. Make sure your OF boot-device variables point to the right place
6. Go for it
I don't think quik works with newworlds. It didn't work on mine. Maybe I'm
deranged.

possible for Debian/PowerPC". And of course I have no floppy drive for making a
rescue floppy.

to do to boot on it for finishing installation ?
