Hmmm...I'll have to think about how to word it.  On OldWold Mac the
only ways to boot the _installer_ at present are to use BootX or miBoot
floppies.  After the install is complete however quik is definitely the
way to go.  If we get dfsg-free floppies then I making a strong
recommendation to use the floppies and not BootX makes more sense.
