Booting on PowerPC

   The DFS images for PowerPC support booting from OpenFirmware (OF) into
   yaboot.

   Booting the DFS CD generally involves these steps:

    1. Boot into yaboot. On newer PowerPC (NewWorld) you can press "c"
       (or "Command-Option-Shift-Delete") during boot until you reach the
       yaboot bootprompt. If this does not work, you have to boot into
       OpenFirmware first. This can be done by pressing
       "Option-Command-o-f" (all four at the same time) during boot. The
       Option key might also be labeled "Alt" and the Command key with
       the Apple sign on your keyboard. Once you have reached the
       OpenFirmware prompt, type boot cd:,\boot\yaboot to boot into
       yaboot.
    2. You should now see an yaboot prompt. You can press "TAB" to see a
       list of available kernels. Enter the kernel's name to boot it. The
       *-safe options use "video=ofonly" which is needed if your machine
       has a framebuffer that is not well supported and booting would
       give flickering lines on the screen. "ofonly" relies on the
       OpenFirmware console.
    3. Linux should now start.
