Booting procedure
It is built to run within the Open Firmware layer common to most such systems instead of working as a Mac OS 9 program like its predecessor BootX. Yaboot is similar to LILO and GNU GRUB. Yaboot uses the following steps to boot: • Yaboot is invoked by Open Firmware • Finds a boot device, boot path and opens boot partition • Opens /etc/yaboot.conf or a command shell • Loads image or kernel and initrd • Executes image == See also ==
