From the suggestions received (thank you all very much) I reconfigured the hard-drive with a 45 meg Apple partition, added BootX, and a copy of the kernel from the distribution disks. Reconfigured the remaining space as the Linux partitions, reinstalled Linux, and it properly launches Linux from the BootX application.
I would strongly suggest that release documents and/or lists of compatible hardware be updated to avoid this issue in the future. "Performa 6360's require a minimal MacOS (7.5?, < 40 Meg partition) and use of the BootX Application or Extension in order to boot into Linux." If anyone finds themselves with a similar issue, please feel free to send an e-mail. I'd be glad to help out where I can :) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
