[Bug 74943] Re: Live CD cd: is hardcoded in /install/ofboot.b

 

Well this is getting embarrassing.... &device;: also works when there is
more than one partition.  So could the line be

boot &device;:,\\yaboot

This gives greater flexibility and allows the ofboot.b script to be used
for persistence usb live sticks too.

One thing to mention though:

I can only boot my usb device from openfirmware, and it seems &device;
is given different values depending on how you call :tbxi.

This works: boot usb/@1:2,\\:tbxi
 
This doesn't (&device; passes an extra colon) : boot usb/@1:,\\:tbxi

Another option is:

boot &device;:&partition;,\\yaboot
