In case it helps someone else, here's the complete yaboot.conf from my
TFTP server that leads to an iBook G3 starting the Live CD environment.
The TFTP server is combined with NFS and loop-mounted Ubuntu ISO images.
/var/lib/tftpboot$ cat yaboot.conf
device=enet:
partition=0
timeout=60
init-message="Ubuntu GNU/Linux NetBoot"
default=ubuntu-10.04-desktop-powerpc
image=/iso-image/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-powerpc/casper/powerpc/vmlinux
label=ubuntu-10.04-desktop-powerpc
initrd=/iso-image/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-powerpc/casper/powerpc/initrd
append="boot=casper netboot=nfs
nfsroot=10.254.251.2:/srv/boot/iso-image/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-powerpc"
I have a sophisticated shell script that auto-configures a PXE
environment for multiple Intel ISO images. Here's the resulting
configuration just for the PPC ISO images:
$ sudo losetup -a
/dev/loop4: [fb03]:262152
(/home/all/iso-image/ubuntu/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-powerpc.iso)
$ mount
/dev/loop4 on /var/lib/tftpboot/iso-image/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-powerpc type
iso9660 (rw)
/var/lib/tftpboot/iso-image/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-powerpc on
/srv/boot/iso-image/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-powerpc type none (rw,bind)
$ sudo exportfs
/srv/boot/iso-image/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-powerpc
0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
