Well, I tried.

I went to that, as root, deleted some off the right end of the append
line, which looked nearest to the RHGB I get rid of so easily in FC1, and
rebooted.

And got the abomination. And cut some more. And rebooted.

Etc., etc, ad nauseam. Finally I hit Ctrl-K on the whole never to be
sufficiently accursed line.

And the unspeakable thing *still* boots GUIly! May that file roast forever
where it most deserves!

Please, somebody, post an example of yaboot.conf that does it cleanly, the
way it oughtta be done. 

Pretty please. With sugar on it.

How else am I to tell -- no, scrub that -- I'm too old to learn a better
way to learn how to tell whether eth0, eth1, both, or neither are coming
up properly. To say nothing of all the other goods that boot-watching
eventually brings...

Bear in mind that I have little idea what I am talking about.
