SE/30 makes it to 'J' - but no boot
Trying still to install m68k (Debian) on a Mac SE/30
I've managed to get a little further trying to boot linux on my Mac SE/30.
Using either Penguin 17 or 18, I am able to get to a black screen with a
penguin graphic in the upper right, then about 5 lines of text, with the
following last line:
ABCDEFGHIJ
Can anyone tell me how far this is getting? What is significant about 'J'
and what can I expect form 'K'?
This is a pretty stock SE/30 with 8MB of RAM. I am booting Penguin from OS
7.01, on a 1GB external SCSI drive. The machine has some type of a NIC
installed. I get the same result on a different SE/30, which has 32MB of
RAM and no NIC.
I am using 'linux' as my kernel, and 'root.bin' as my ramdisk image. Any
help very much appreciated.
