I got one script from him a while back, in python, called install-disks.
I've rewritten it in sh to make my life easier...

Hmmm, OK. What needs to be done for that?

OK, this must be the right script then. I am currently capable of
producing an m68k with /install and lots of stuff done for
amiga,atari,mac,vme under that. So you just need to tell me the extras the
mac needs. At the moment the relevant bit of the boot-m68k script looks
like

I'm using a hacked-up mkhybrid anyway that as far as I can tell is working
OK. Due to problems last night I haven't got the m68k test images done
