I was trying to understand what procedures I should follow to create a
bootable CD for my G4 PowerMac.
I thought that I have to use mkhybrid.
Any hint/help? Also is there any documentation available?
Thanks in advance
Francesco
Ok,
I finally got my Power Macintosh 7300 to boot directly into Linux using quik.
What I did that got me going was to switch the Open Firmware output-device
(this from the example for 7500, 7600 and 8500 in the nvsetenv man page):
nvsetenv output-device /chaos/control
On the next boot

Hi,
I compiled a new kernel with ipmasquerading for my ppc 7200, to use
it as a router. I came to the point described below, but have no idea
how to do the next steps. The kernel-howto is PC biased, and I found
no answer in my archive of this list.

that is the one that goes on boot floppies for old world
macs that use hfs file system boot floppy. new world macs
can use the ext2 formatted boot floppy. I'm pretty sure.
