Hey everyone,
I've got a question about boot floppies on the various architectures: I just
obtained my first x86 computer and to boot, I have to have two floppy disks:
one rescue.bin and root.bin. I have never used the rescue.bin to boot for
either my PowerMac or my m68k Macintosh. I realize that they have different
boot loaders (such as Penguin for m68k, and BootX/yaboot-ybin for PPC) but
having to boot first using the rescue.bin and then inserting the root.bin
strikes me as odd...I thought I'd just be able to boot straight off the
root.bin, but I guess not, as experience shows me... :-)
Anyway, what am I missing about this whole process and the differences
between the $ARCH's?
Thanks for helping me to understand!
Russell
