| 15:53.53 | itt788 | I'm booting my macmini ppc through tftp. Is it possible to put all necessary files in /tftpboot/debianppc instead of /tftpboot ? |
| 16:08.07 | markos__ | itt788, your tftpd server should be able to serve from any directory, so yes |
| 16:11.47 | itt788 | of course it does, but I want to be able to put the boot files wherever I set they will be in rc.dhcpd.conf. I works with pxelinux like that, why would it be different with yaboot |
| 16:11.49 | itt788 | ? |
| 16:12.54 | markos__ | in that case, you mean you want to change the default directories yaboot pulls kernels+other files from |
| 16:13.59 | markos__ | but wouldn't it be simpler to just change the files served in the dhcp host settings? |
| 16:14.22 | markos__ | lmgtfy, https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/powerpc/ch04s05.html.en |
| 16:14.43 | markos__ | filename option in the host {} entry |
| 16:14.55 | markos__ | I guess you could just change that to whichever you like |
| 16:15.04 | itt788 | If I set /debian/pxelinux.0 as the bootloader in dhcpd.conf, then the bootloader will look for the rest of needed files (kernel, initram ...) in the same folder, while yaboot seems to look only in what is set for tftp root |
| 16:15.38 | markos__ | ah I see, then yes, yaboot configuration has to be fixed |
| 16:16.43 | itt788 | I'm searching how to set it in the man page of yahoo.conf |
| 16:16.58 | markos__ | in yaboot.conf I guess image=/tftpboot/vmlinux should be changed to image=/tftpboot/debianppc/vmlinux |
| 16:17.33 | markos__ | if initrd is also set, i guess a similar change should be made |
| 16:18.00 | markos__ | tbh, I'm using grub2 now so I've rid myself of yaboot once and for all |
| 16:18.07 | itt788 | I don't want to set the path in both dhcpd.conf and yaboot.conf |
| 16:19.06 | itt788 | I want to set yaboot so that it looks for the other needed files in the same folder as it is residing |
| 16:19.55 | itt788 | instead of image=/vmlinux I put image=vmlinux but it does seem to work |
| 16:50.32 | itt788 | sorry, does NOT seem to work |
| 16:52.07 | itt788 | grub2 can replace yaboot for ppc?? even for a boot on lan? |
| 17:02.17 | markos__ | itt788, haven't tested tftp boot, but yeah, for normal booting it does work perfectly fine at least on my powerbook g4 |
| 17:03.22 | markos__ | followed this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2051337 and this: http://cynic.cc/blog/posts/running_grub2_on_powerpc_macs/ |
| 17:03.45 | markos__ | basically install grub2 with the required modules in /boot and run sth like boot hd:2,grub.img from OF |
| 17:04.00 | markos__ | you can keep yaboot as well, just in case |
| 17:04.26 | markos__ | in my case, I could just cp the default grub.img that was autogenerated |
| 17:04.39 | markos__ | everything I needed was included |
| 17:04.54 | markos__ | imho, it's worth a shot |
| 17:06.15 | markos__ | look for grub-ieee-something in debian |
| 22:31.21 | itt788 | it seems my ppc doesn't take care of the "filename" statement defined in the dhcpd.conf file of host computer for a tftp boot. when prompted by the open firmware and I input "boot enet:0", nothing happens and the ppc hangs, but if I put "boot enet:0,yaboot" it works while for both cases the boot loader ("yaboot" file) is put at the root of tftp. This is the same behaviour for whatever path is specified with "filename" statement i |
| 22:31.21 | itt788 | n dhcpd.conf |
