free failes to load cleanly from yaboot

[gil verthaim]

this might not be a freebsd problem at all...
i used yaboot 1.3.13 which runs from a linux partition to init the
loader file from a yaboot boot partition using a cheap hack to link
symbolically link the loader file to a fictional ofwboot file which
yaboot accepts as a bsd loader  (it is the netbsd loader) like so:

ln -s /usr/local/lib/yaboot/loader /usr/local/lib/yaboot/ofwboot

when i enter the yaboot boot menu and select the bsd option yaboot
locates the original loader file and begins the boot but when the init
script get to the point where its mounts the root partition in
multi-user it fails to find the partition and falls back to the
mountroot> prompt witch in turn fails to find the root partition when
directed manually (e.g ufs:/dev/ad0s11).

as i said this might be a yaboot bug or just a misuse in my part but i
just want to let you know

cheers
