I installed this on several iMac DVs, and it works great. Now you don't
have to fiddle with OF any more, and if you put a timeout into
yaboot.conf, booting into Linux is completely automatic.
Yes, this script is just great.
You only have to enter OF once, type
setenv boot-device hd:10,yabootloader.script
I want exactly this automatic. This works fine on the current IDE Macs,
but with a B&W Scsi Mac a "typical" User has lost.
The path on my Mac is something like

/pci/pci-bridge/ADPT,2940U2B/@6:7,blah

Too complex.
