Description Alex Kanavin 2006-10-01 19:51:49 UTC 
Current yaboot version from rawhide doesn't support external drives properly (usb and firewire). I've taken 
the patch from http://mir2.ovh.net/gentoo-portage/sys-boot/yaboot/files/yaboot-1.3.13-ofpath.patch, 
made a few changes and tested it with external USB and Firewire drives - it seems to work, my Powerbook 
G4 is able to boot from them with no trouble. Please apply to yaboot git, and hopefully it shows up in 
rawhide soon, maybe even in time for FC6.

Oops, the usb-storage part is actually broken (only works in one specific case, and not when the drive is 
plugged via a hub, etc.), discard :) Other fixes are fine.

Ok, sorry for the confusion :) The new patch adds support for usb/firewire in a
much simpler and sweeter way, similar to other SCSI drivers already present in
ofpath. I tested it with usb in various configurations and also with firewire
and it works. Please apply.

Fixed in yaboot git tree and rawhide.
