I was thinking of booting off a flash drive, not a file; but open firmware
won't read the drive. Since Mac OS reads it, could I transfer yaboot,
yaboot.conf, initrd and vmlinux to the root directory of the hard drive and
have open firmware boot from the hard drive, using initrd to boot the loop
files? Just curious.
Ciao for now,
Mark
