So ok, sorry if I'm confused here. From what I read, I thought yaboot
allowed you to not even need MacOS installed. But now I hear I should use
different kernels which I place into my System folder. So here's where
I'm getting confused I guess. If I have no MacOS installed and yaboot
doesn't require MacOS, then how and why do I need to place this new kernel
in my System folder.
Can someone maybe give me a biggers run down on the steps involved in
booting and installing with this new kernel?
Thanks
-jeremy
