I have only succeeded loading "miboot.image" files. This is annoying,
because Debian kernel packages contain ELF images, which quik uses too.
miboot.image files boot, but the video is screwed (it looks like a sync
problem). It's not specific to the Debian kernel, the kernel distributed
with miBoot gives the same result. (It's a "control" video adapter in
a "Power Macintosh 8500/120" computer.)
I'm speaking about the System file on the floppy image shipped with
BootX 1.2.2, which seems to be miBoot 1.0a3 (both in the source and the
binary). I'm a bit confused with this. Is it really a newer version ?
1.0d4 reads gzipped ELFs and works perfectly, OTOH. We're using Linux
2.4.25, IIRC.
