Netboot Revisited Vagrant got the common infrastructure ppc netboot set up, and we tested it on a G3 iMac in the Mac area. With a little coxing and head scratching we got it to find yaboot and yaboot.conf'', but after that the process couldn't find any of the other boot files. I'll transcribe the boot trace as best I can here.
