        Just a question regarding boot floppies (bear in mind that I'm
        a complete novice with regard to anything other than x86): how
        does one make a boot floppy/hfs image like the one you put on
        your homepage some time ago and that will boot in a oldworld?

        I tried writing potato's boot floppies to a bunch of diskettes
        and the mac that I had borrowed from my uncle didn't boot with
        them, but it did boot with the images in your homepage. Also,
        do I have to put the Linux kernel in any special format for it
        to be read?
