Its an executable. When its on a CD it will execute properly, if you have a
potato/m68k (or slink/m68k) CD1 at hand, use that, maybe the file is
corrupt. You could also get it from any debian mirror in the disks-m68k
section (without the executable bit, that bit is set by the cd creation
scripts). You might as well get an amigainstall.tgz|lha archive (lha is only
on my potato page) and unpack that. Permissions should be ok then. Or you
get the original amiboot plus readme, ie from:
ftp.uni-erlangen.de:/pub/Linux/680x0/v2.1/boot
If that still does not help, I think you have to read the FAQ. Are you sure
you have all the required files in the right place (linux, root.bin)?
There should happen something when you enter amiboot and press return. Oh
my, thats what happens when you give Mac users a shell... ;-)
