On an install CD there is a forth script which start yaboot with good parameters but currently OpenBIOS is not able to decode this script

Did OHW ever handle this?
It does, but it is a hack: it computes the checksum of the script to identify it, and according the checksum the things to do are hardcoded into OHW.
You have a big "switch()" and a "case" for each known script (for instance "debian etch install CD", "debian sarge install CD", etc).
Well, it wasn't that hard. The patch o_2_use_bootinfo.diff adds parsing of CHRP file ppc\bootinfo.txt. Still, the loaded yaboot does not work. Maybe a problem with ELF loader?
I've shuffled the patch series a bit, so here are all pending patches. Would anyone mind if I applied them? < q_1_ppc_openbios .diff
< q_2_ppc_use_prom_env .diff
< q_3_ppc_use_fw_cfg .diff
< o_1_ppc_add_boot.diff><o_2_use_bootinfo.diff><o_3_ppc_use_fw_cfg.diff>
I don't totally agree with some of them, but it is a good start and all are really needed, so please apply...
