Yes the part before the colon is refering to the disk and the part  
after the colon is refering to the partition number.
Anything after ,/  is refering to the path to the kernel on that  
partition.

This is probably the main reason yaboot isn't working.  There is no /  
between /boot  and  vmlinux-2.4.22-2f.  It should be  
/pci@8000000/pci-bridge@d/Ultra-Tek100P@4/0,0:2,/boot/vmlinux-2.4.22-2f

Try that path again with the / between boot and vmlinux.

my devalias output had the following:


ide0     /pci/@d/mac-io/ata-3@2000

cd        /pci/@d/mac-io/ata-3@2000/disk@0

zip       /pci/@d/mac-io/ata-3@2000/disk@1


ide1      /pci/@d/pci-ata@1/ata-4@0

hd         /pci/@d/pci-ata@1/ata-4@0/disk0

ultra0    /pci/@d/pci-ata@1/ata-4@0/disk0

utlra1    /pci/@d/pci-ata@1/ata-4@0/disk1



ultra1:2,/vmlinux did not work, I also tried variations on this, as
well as ultra0 variations.


before I continue hacking at this I think I need to understand what
this path is saying, let me try


ultra1:2   <<-- this is an alias to the second partition on disk1

,/vmlinux   <<-- the path to the linux kernel on that partition

</excerpt>

Yes the part before the colon is refering to the disk and the part
after the colon is refering to the partition number.    

Anything after ,/  is refering to the path to the kernel on that
partition.


<excerpt>In the output of yaboot I got


/pci@8000000/pci-bridge@d/Ultra-Tek100P@4/0,0:2,/bootvmlinux-2.4.22-2f:
Unable to open file, Invalid device.

</excerpt>

This is probably the main reason yaboot isn't working.  There is no /
between /boot  and  vmlinux-2.4.22-2f.  It should be
/pci@8000000/pci-bridge@d/Ultra-Tek100P@4/0,0:2,/boot<color><param>FFFF,0C75,1583</param>/</color>vmlinux-2.4.22-2f


<excerpt>

I tried the full OF path from devalias with the full kernel name which
I assumed would be the same as the error output from above


 /pci/@d/pci-ata@1/ata-4@0/disk1/bootvmlinux-2.4.22-2f

</excerpt>

Try that path again with the / between boot and vmlinux.


<excerpt>

no go. Well, this is where it stands now, not too sure what to do,
going to reread some documentation and see if something clicks, thanks
for all the help so far
