A 040 has a built in FPU. That should work. A LC040 has no builtin FPU, and
some of the LC040 are broken and can't trap on FPU instructions.

Does it detect a SCSI bus and disks? Does it load and uncompress the ramdisk
properly? What Mac model exactly are you trying to boot on?
Perhaps it would be easiest to save a log output of the booter, and send it
to me (no need to spam the list with that). Check the Machine Specs and
Boot_Info options in the settings. Also include the 'Hardware->Show Machine
Profile' output.

Yep. You can use the resc1440-mac.bin for resc1c1440.bin (just rename it).
The 'cat chunks together' only applies if you had to use floppies to get the
base2_0 to your machine. I still don't know if a tool exists to glue the
chunks together, so you'd have to use Linux :-) Just get the whole base2_0.tgz
in one piece.
>Can this be the cause for the hang?
Nope. I don't know what your Mac is, so I can't speculate on the reason for the
hang. That seems like a kernel problem to me, so it's best discussed on the
linux-mac68k ML.
