I have been reading them, and for example on this URL (http://
www.arenatechniques.com/kb/index.php/Anaconda#Installation_via_VNC)
where it says:
" Installation via VNC, Kickstart, and yaboot"
They mention that the code example is for:
Have a Mac running yaboot, and don't want to ever visit it for a new
installation? You can boot off the network, using VNC, by issuing
such an entry in /etc/yaboot.conf:
Now looking at it now (after this thread has continued) I know
realize it seems to be in the format that can be passed to the boot
options....
So assuming that is true it would be:
<snip>
default linux
prompt 0
timeout 0
display boot.msg
F1 boot.msg
F2 options.msg
F3 general.msg
F4 param.msg
F5 rescue.msg
F7 snake.msg
label linux
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=8192 vnc
vncconnect=pigdog.example.com headless ip=dhcp ksdevice=eth0
method=cdrom lang=en_US keymap=us
<snip>
I just did not find that example clear in the way they referenced it.
