I have an `iBook G4` and have `Debian 8 (Jessie)` installed on it.
Yesterday I did something stupid (messed up `yaboot.conf` and ran `ybin`)
and now the system cannot boot up.

The old Debian 8 was installed on a single partition (`/dev/sda3`, `ext4`).
I ever put the Debian 8 netboot installation images (downloaded from here
<http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/installer-powerpc/current/images/powerpc/netboot/>)
under `/boot/deb/`:

    /boot/deb/initrd.gz
    /boot/deb/vmlinux
    /boot/deb/yaboot
    /boot/deb/yaboot.conf

So how can I boot the netboot installation images from the `boot:` prompt
and reinstall Debian 8?

I tried `boot: hd:3,/boot/deb/vmlinux root=/dev/ram read-only
initrd=/boot/deb/initrd.gz initrd-size=3000000` but it did not work. (The

Thanks.
