Vmac and Basilisk II

[JakeCatfox@aol.com]

Hi, I'm trying to get Basilisk II or vMac (preferably Basilisk II) running on 
my Debian laptop. However, whenever either one tries to boot from the floppy, 
it just reads the drive for a second, then gives up immediately. vMac never 
recognizes there's a disk, Basilisk II won't run because there's nothing to 
boot from. The ROM is good, I've checked that out. In each one I told the 
program to use /dev/fd0 or made a symlink with the name of its default floppy 
device, linked to /dev/fd0. I even tried compiling in Mac filesystem support 
into my kernel, but to no avail.

Has anyone had this problem or know what I'm doing wrong?
