I've implemented the "download boot loaders" code in the devel branch.
I don't want to update the 1.7 boot loaders because it involves checking
in /more/ binary file changes in git, which is what
we are trying to eliminate. However seeing I think the number of folks
wanting to netboot ppc would be really low, you could
always update the yaboot file post install to supply a newer version.
That's what I'm doing now, I just need to always remember to reset the
symlink to the newer yaboot whenever I run 'cobbler sync'. If I ever
get around to creating some documentation
(
https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/ticket/432), I'll include this point.
Thanks,
