Description Will Woods 2008-11-13 17:25:19 UTC 
Created attachment 323479 [details]
yaboot-1.3.14-fix-bootonce-nvram.patch

yaboot --bootonce doesn't work, for a couple of reasons:

1) It inverts the logic of a test to see if nvram is available, and
2) It assumes the output of 'nvsetenv VARNAME' will be 'VARNAME=VALUE', rather than just 'VALUE' (as it is when using the "nvram" utility).

The attached patch fixes these problems and makes --bootonce work as expected.

Er, I meant ybin --bootonce. But you get the idea.
