I think it must call at least "AddDrive".Based on a look at the Driver technote from Apple, it looks like thedriver from the disk is used to access disk blocks in the ROM code, soyou need a full driver to be able to use the disk. Although you could leave out the write support in this case, I presume.I agree.The good thing: I think what is preventing to booting from a non- Apple drive is in the driver. So, by writing a driver, I can boot from my Yamaha CD- RW driveand use a CD-RW to develop the driver.
I've a bootable CD without Apple copyrighted materials (all free !!!) but it cannot boot from non-apple drive. it is here : http://vivierlaurent.free.fr/debian-50-m68k-NETINST-1_emile-1.iso The disk content is from: http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/d-i/m68k/cds/daily/debian-50-m68k-NETINST-1.isoAnd it is only bootable, but cannot install debian because it doesn't find the bits for testing/m68k.
(Stephen: where can I find them ?) in the TODO list: - switch to 32bit mode on boot - detect the CDROM SCSI ID (currently if it is fixed to 3). The sources are not in the CVS tree for the moment (coming soon...).
