because all of the powermac bootloaders consist entirely of cruft, this is something i intend to fix one way or another. right now i am looking at making silo arch: powerpc | sparc i really am beginning to think we should not bother including OF bootable images at all. its pointless since OF can't read the root filesystem anyway, so lets require bootloaders. booting images directly via OF is something approximatly one person actually does, and he can just compile his own kernel (he doesn't use debian anyway and if he did he wouldn't use kernel-package). -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
