Currently, yaboot is the ISO boot loader in fedora and the Fedora on
POWER team is making an effort in order to replace it by GRUB2 in the
F20 release cycle. I'm sending a lorax patch so you guys can comment
on it. I'm planning to create a feature page for that too.
This patch only change the lorax template for ppc and should not
affect other archs, like x86.

lockdown.efi only exists in the beta, but it'll probably also exist in
the 7.1 beta. So don't toss this stuff out completely, but don't use it
if shim doesn't provide lockdown.efi either.

In fips mode creation of the protocol 1 key causes it to hang. This
removes the explicit HostKey entries and lets sshd decide which keys to
create when it starts.
Add a command that opens the anaconda.log file located in /tmp
with less. The command is added as the most recently used.

Make kernel args the same in every config.
Put 'quiet' at the end of the line - it's usually the first thing a user removes when debugging.
Fill missing product versions in.
Distinguish between 'install' (installation media) and 'start' (live media).
live media isn't exactly the same as the Anaconda install media. Right
now this amounts to needing a root= cmdline argument but in the future
there may be other differences.
This also reverts 5437557846 on the new copies of the templates.
We use this to set various sysctl settings, like setting kernel.printk=1
so we don't get the screen all crudded up with kernel messages during
text-mode installs.
In order for grub to be able to read the kernel regardless of whether
the image is written to a CD or a USB stick, it's necessary to autoprobe
for the filesystem using the findiso command. Add it to the grub config.
move arch-specific stuff to arch-specific subdirs and move all the
common stuff to a subdir named 'common'. Also, rename '.profile' and
'.bash_history' so you actually see them when you 'ls' the 'common' dir.
also added some helpful(?) comments to the templates.

The value syslogd provides at this early point when kickstart starts is
"(none)". This makes the receiving syslog unable to parse the incoming
messages.
This adds the boot config files from anaconda to lorax's configdir.
They've been edited to include a '@ROOT@' placeholder, so lorax can put
the proper root=... argument in place, and to use the @VAR@ convention
everywhere (instead of some using @VAR@ and some using %VAR%).
This should probably fix EFI booting, since the EFI BOOT*.conf was
missing its root=... arg.
Also some default settings were changed in syslinux.cfg (so we don't
have to rewrite those two lines every time).
One last change - the '-magic' arg and ppc 'magic' file have been
dropped, because that's kind of silly and unnecessary.
