# HOWTO-Booting with Yaboot on PowerPC
Chapter 1 - Yaboot's Purpose

Yaboot is a bootloader for PowerPC computers (NewWorld PowerMacs and IBM CHRP). It loads a Linux operating system kernel from an OpenFirmware-accessible filesystem and initiates operation of the kernel. On PowerMacs, an included CHRP script can display a multi-OS boot menu which can launch `yaboot` or other operating systems. Utilities are included to place `yaboot` and the associated script on a non-mountable bootstrap partition.
