+#
+#  This is a pared-down Bootdisk_Contents file for use with Yard.
+#  You can certainly boot with fewer files than this, but you
+#  probably wouldn't want to.  With these you can at least
+#  do some basic disk maintenance.
+#
+#  Format rules:
+#  - Lines beginning with # or % are comments.
+#
+#  - Blank lines and whitespace may be used freely.
+#
+#  - Filenames may be either relative or absolute.
+#
+#  - Lines of the form "filename1 -> filename2" will create
+#    links on the boot disk.  Eg, if you want sh linked to bash
+#    on the bootdisk, you can specify: "/bin/sh -> /bin/bash"
+#
+#  - Lines of the form "filename1 <= filename2"
+#    will cause filename2 (relative to the current working directory)
+#    to be copied to filename1 on the boot disk.  This is useful for
+#    specifying trimmed-down replacements for /etc/passwd, /etc/inittab, etc.
+#
+#  - Wildcards (? and *) are generally allowed, eg /dev/*
+#    Wildcards are not allowed in link specs or replacement specs.
+#
+#  You don't need to specify shared libraries or ld.so*.  The
+#  script will detect dependencies (via ldd) and include them
+#  automatically.
+#
+#  You don't need to explicitly specify intermediate directories
+#  unless you just want them to exist.
+#
+
+#  Specify these absolutely because boot scripts need them to be here.
