I'm testing the powerpc-small boot floppies and this occurred when I tried to boot my powermac 7300 with ofonlyboot.img. However, after reformatting with superformat and writing the image again, the disk was read successfully and ejected. I inserted root.img, which was loaded, but after that nothing happened. I ended up with the tuxmac logo and the root disk in the drive. After reading that your mac booted from boot.img, I tried that one and with a little more success. After loading the kernel, the system switched to text mode and asked for the root floppy. I inserted root.img and it loaded for a while, but the end result was something along the following lines: mount_devfs_fs(): unable to mount devfs, err:-2 freeing unused kernel memory warning, unable to open an initial console Kernel panic, no init found Best regards, Wouter
