yaboot

Yaboot is an OpenFirmware bootloader for Open Firmware based machines. It is known to work on "NewWorld" class PowerMacs (iMac and all machines released after it), RS/6000, and possibly other OF based CHRP machines. "OldWorld" PowerMacs (with the built-in MacOS ROM) are not supported. Ybin is the GNU/Linux utility to install the yaboot boot loader onto a bootstrap partition. It will not run from MacOS. Ybin (YaBoot INstaller) was created so that there could be a lilo/quik style bootloader installer for yaboot. With a properly configured system one can simply type ybin, and the bootloader will be installed/updated on the bootstrap partition without any further user intervention. Ybin is required to install yaboot.
