You should find amiboot in /install/tools/amiga/ along with some StartInstall scripts which depend on your graphics card. In theory clicking one of these should kick everything off. If you want to do it by hand, the along with amiboot, you'll need to grab an amiga kernel from /install/kernels and the cdrom initrd from /install/cdrom/initrd.gz. > Btw: I've been running linux on pc's for some time now, and want to have a go > at it on the amiga.
