is there any difference between the OpenFirmware coff kernel and the miboot coff kernel? as far as kernel-image boot-floppy goes, it should either: 1: make a OpenFirmware bootable floppy 2: not bother i will force option 2 if something isn't done one way or another in kernel-package (by creating /etc/kernel-img.conf in dbootstrap's quik setup). > Oops, guess what.

Tsk-tsk. the same will likely happen with oldworld powermacs at some point, i know i am sick to hell of dealing with that broken mess that is the OldWorld subarch. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
