That's not true, even the most broken versions of Apple OF understand HFS filesystems on floppies at least. The issue here is that `linux' is an ELF image, which nothing pre-newworld supports. Incidentally the `bootargs' file is probably wrong, 'video=keep' isn't something I've ever seen. -- Joel Klecker (aka Espy) Debian GNU/Linux Developer <URL:mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <URL:mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <URL:http://web.espy.org/> <URL:http://www.debian.org/>
