There is no yaboot, I think you just do 'boot cdrom' or you use the SMS menu to boot from CD.
Any suggestions ? -----Original Message----- From: Kiss Miklos - mic [mailto:mickiss@kom.ahh.gov.hu] Sent: Tuesday, September 06, 2005 10:44 AM To: Suse-Ppc Subject: RE: [suse-ppc] Booting on IBM 7043-140 'Boot cdrom' at OF prompt.

I assume the cd is either badly burned, or we screwed it up in the last days. Are you able to select the CD drive in the SMS menu at all? What firmware level do you have? I remember even the oldest firmware could read all CDs just fine. You can try to burn a minimal iso yourself. mkdir testcd mkdir testcd/boot cp /cdrom/boot/zImage.prep.initrd testcd/boot mkisofs -prep-boot boot/zImage.prep.initrd -r -v -o test.iso testcd

I just tried it on our 140, and it boots ok. Another guy reported the same for a powerstack. I have no idea why it doesnt work, sorry. You can try to boot the CD1/boot/zImage.prep.initrd from your existing installation, or via the network. Take a look at this howto, tftp boot might work on an idle network. http://penguinppc.org/~hollis/linux/rs6k-netboot.shtml
