Re: Updating w.d.o/{intro/organization#distribution,ports/}
If there's a decent walkthrough on getting the 68k bootloader running
thru debian....I have a A4000 and a Centris 610 that I could certainly
setup to help out. I've ran Linuxes of all flavors on x86 for a long
time, and I've followed this list for a few years now. I'd like to
help contribute but want up-to-date information on how to get
booted(EMILIE bootloader for example).
