The initrd is not used on m68k, so don't worry about copying it onto the mac OS side or giving it as a boot parameter.

If SCSI does not work, I doubt you can log in via slip. Most people suggest that you install a full CPU, ie one with FPU. > i also tried still booting the 540 again. i need it to at least get Thats a different machine? A notebook?
