Description Brady Catherman 2006-01-19 22:30:54 UTC

Searching google I have seen several others having this problem but nobody seems to have an answer. 

When I install yaboot on my headless XServe G5 I can get the system to boot great if I use the serial console and type "boot hd:,\\yaboot". Out of the box it doesn't automaticly boot on the system.

Any clues how I make it automaticly boot when the system is turned on without any user interaction?

I'm going to close this bug, but I imagine the problem was that the disk wasn't blessed properly as bootable by ybin. If you can still reproduce this, please let me know!
