Re: Kernel 2.4.18-powerpc using BooxX

I don't kow what went wrong for you, but it's clear that yabot does you
no good. The 6500 is an OldWorld PowerMac, and that class of machines is
not supported by yaboot.
The only alternative to BootX would be quik, but that beast is a hassle
to set up (due largely to the brokeness of the firmware on OldWorld
machines).

PS How do you boot that machine from an IDE disk? An additional IDE PCI
card?
