That would explain it, because the youngest macos I have is 8.1. I
take it that the latest dual G4s are a different architecture?
If he doesn't change kernels a lot he can use the boot floppy
method, which works rather reliably, ie., whenever you want to boot
linux push the floppy into the drive
Well, finally SuSE Linux was installed on RS6000 (7044-170)
The machine boots Linux with a Prep partition (lilo worked
as well with yaboot). It works ok with console, some
graphics cards wasn't recognize by the machine (as Diammond
Trio 64+, S3 Virge, Trident Providia, etc).
I made a new partit

Earlier, I posted that I could start an SMP kernel from BootX. This is

It's not only a matter of that. You need to build from Ani Joshi's tree. Or
