The command line should at least say where the root-file-system is. For
the first part of the install this is /dev/ram (root=/dev/ram). Penguin
comes this a nice prefs-file on the debian CD, it's in /install/mac in
the Penguin archive (.hqx) I think. On the site the /install directory
should be right below the /potato dir if I'm interpreting my CD layout
correctly. For the second part of the install point just have the root=
argument point at your freshly created root-partition. The
install/Penguin etc. docs on maclinuxstatus.sourceforge.net and/or
www.mac.linux-m69k.org have more details, although people are busy
updating them....
