Re: A question of speed...
I don't believe that you can boot the GENERIC kernel on a Jensen (afaik)
I couldn't get it to boot from CD..
I managed to hunt down a netboot image, and used that with the root.img
floppy.
and the potato CD mounted via NFS.
took a fair bit of mucking about but worked perfectly once I got it all
sorted.
Quite a few hours of my time whent into that, but I was happy with the
result.
