The yaboot binary in Debian is broken. I took the one from the Fedora package "yaboot-1.3.14-27.fc12.ppc.rpm" To netboot a PPC mac, normal method is to hold N while booting. But "boot enet:" doesn't work, you need to specify a filename to get the mac to talk non-apple DHCP. And slashes in the filename seem bad. So: - get into OF by booting with option-apple-o-f - run "boot enet:,yaboot"
