network startup at boot

[Mark T. Valites]

Setting up different runlevels to do this would be easy.
Since four is unused, I would set this to either have your eth0 enabled 
or not, and 5 (or 3 if you're text) to do the opposite.
Edit your yaboot.conf to add entries for passing the runlevel to the 
kernel & ybin, pick the appropriate yaboot stanza when booting & you 
should be set.
