This is the latest edition of the Linux/Mac68K booter. It should go in /pub/linux/mac. From rpelkey@abacus.bates.edu Sun Jul 20 19:51:17 1997 Date: Sun, 20 Jul 1997 19:51:00 -0400 (EDT) From: Rob Pelkey To: linux-mac68k@rpelkey.bates.edu Subject: Booter 0.20 Announcing the latest release of the Linux/Mac68k booter: ftp://rpelkey.bates.edu/pub/linux-mac68k/booter-0.20.sit.bin Also coming soon to ftp.uk.linux.org (check /pub/incoming for now). Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the booter now works - I've tested modified versions of Alan's July 4 kernel and Michael's modified kernel on a IIcx, Duo 230, and Performa 460, and everything seems to work normally. Of course, your mileage may vary. To use the booter, you'll need to modify your kernel to accept parameters in the standard 68K Linux format using the boot_info structure, rather than using the registers and "environment variables" in the MacBSD fashion. Two patches containing the necessary modifications are included for your convenience: one to make the necessary changes to Alan's July 4 sources, and another to make the changes to Michael's modified edition of the July 4 sources. Both produce an "AC-DC" kernel capable or booting from both the Linux booter and the MacBSD booter (the MacBSD functionality is untested, however - I've had difficulty cross-compiling a.out kernels). Have fun - feedback and bug reports are welcome! Rob --
