Patches are welcome anytime. But currently, the installer for m68k does not have
any support for installing a working bootloader on Atari, Amiga or Mac.

Yes, I'm fully aware of that. But Debian/m68k is a hobby project and if a feature
is missing, it means I haven't had the time yet to implement it or someone didn't
send me the patches to fix that.

No, that doesn't make sense at all as initrds are specific to the computer they
are running on. Also, an Amiga or Atari can have other drivers in its initrd
than a Mac.

Indeed. I don't expect a half-broken installation to be working properly.
