I tried the command "boot" by itself, and got an error referencing

so on a lark, I tried
boot ide0/@:7
(without the "yaboot" even)
and the Debian installer started up. I believe I'm in business. It's
downloading drivers/modules/base from the 'net as I type. Yea!
Thanks for everyone's input.
Wow, so that means hd is not always an alias. Good information! I'll add
a comment to the manual.
Interestingly enough, the command "devalias" shows "hd" to look like
it's going to the right place, but I'm not sure since I'm not conversant
in OpenFirmware-speak. I'd post the alias, but I'm in the middle of an
install right now and have just run into a problem that I'm going to
post under a different topic.
BTW, you were asking about the manual; the one I'm talking about is in my
.sig (for installing woody; we're not working on potato anymore).
Well, Duh! I never even thought to look for a woody-specific
installation manual. I just went to debian.org and followed the links,
which of course took me to the instructions for stable. But oh well, I'm
over that particular hurdle.
Thanks for the help!
Kent
