That's the usual behaviour of an Apple Macintosh with Mac OS on it. That's right. But now on this Mac, where I installed Debian Linux with this $%&§!-Bootloader, it doesn't work any more! That's why I think, this Bootloader was written into the BIOS or whatever. O.K., I'm not really sure about it, but before I installed the new OS, there was ALWAYS a smiling mac or a floppy appearing on the screen BEFORE loading any OS. Even with the install-floppy of debian this startup screen appeared. Mitsch
