[073fae8]18 <para os="a">Some of the idiosyncracies of booting on ppc are discussed in
19 <xref linkend="appendixe" role="."/>. Essentially, there are two options
20 here - either copy the bootloader to an OSX root partition and boot from
21 Open Firmware, or use an install, Live, or rescue CD to set up a bootstrap
22 partition.</para>

28 contains the correct details for the CLFS system. Consult
29 <xref linkend="ch-bootable-yaboot" role="."/> for details, but note that
30 at this point you do not need the <literal>install, magicboot, enablecdboot
31 </literal>or <literal>macosx</literal> parameters because these are not
32 available when you boot from Open Firmware.</para>

34 <para os="c">By this stage, you should have the temporary system on an ext2
35 filesystem on your Mac. Now, from within OSX, copy

37 <filename>/tools/etc/yaboot.conf</filename>) to the OSX <filename>/</filename>

40 <para os="d">Each time you want to boot into the temporary system, hold down
41 the option-command-o-f keys to get to Open Firmware, then use the following
42 command, replacing <literal>X</literal> with the number of the partition
43 containing the <emphasis>OSX</emphasis> root filesystem (typically, this
