+## Change `unconfigured' to your bootstrap partition eg: /dev/hda2
+boot=unconfigured
+
+## device is the OpenFirmware device path to the disk containing
+## kernel images.  if your disk is /dev/hda you can find the
+## OpenFirmware path by running the command: ofpath /dev/hda DO NOT
+## specify a partition number for this!  On IBM hardware you can
+## generally comment this out.
+
+device=hd:
+
+## partition is the partition number where the kernel images are
+## located.  The kernel images should be on your root filesystem, so
+## this is usually the same partition number as your root filesystem.
+## so if root = /dev/hda3 (the 3rd partition) then you should have
+## partition=3  This *MUST* be set correct or yaboot won't boot!  This
+## option can be either set globally as shown here, or per image in
+## the image= sections
+
+partition=3
+
+## delay is the amount of time in seconds the dual boot menu (if one
+## is configured, by the presense of macos, macosx, etc options here)
+## will wait before choosing the default OS (GNU/Linux or the value of
+## defaultos=).  If you omit this then the value of timeout=
+## (converted to seconds) will be used.
+
+delay=10
+
+## timeout is the amount of time in tenths of a second that yaboot
+## will wait before booting the default kernel image (the first image=
+## section in this config file or the value of default=).

+timeout=40

+## the screen background color. (default: fgcolor=white, bgcolor=black)

+## A password is only required to boot an image specified here if
+## parameters are specified on the command line or if the user enters
+## an image is not specified in the configuration file at all (ie.
+## arbitrary file load).  restricted can also be placed in an image
+## section in that case any image not including the restricted keyword
+## will be fully password protected.
+
+#restricted
+
+## image is the kernel itself, commonly kept in / but also commonly
+## found in /boot.  Note that /boot should generally not be its own
+## partition on powerpcs, its not necessary and complicates things.
+## Make sure /boot is on the partition specified by partition= see
+## above.  /boot should never be an HFS filesystem.  You may point
+## image= to a symbolic link so long as the symlink does not cross
+## partition boundries.
