Fedora Core: Yaboot-1.3.12-10 Update Critical: Bootloader Compatibility Fix

yaboot is a bootloader for PowerPC machines which works on New World ROM

machines (Rev. A iMac and newer) and runs directly from Open Firmware,

eliminating the need for Mac OS.

Kernels later than 1.3.12-mm1 no longer provide symlinks in

/proc/device-tree. Yaboot's ofpath binary had a check for

BootX that would error in such a case, this update

eliminates that check so ofpath continues to work on FC4

kernel updates.

Impact is minimal as ofpath is not required to be run after

the initial install.

- Fix ofpath for 2.6.12-mm1 and later
