Re: Debian-installer, older hardware, boot loaders, miboot & amiboot & ..

I just had an interesting conversation with an Apple developer 
(Apple employee) regarding the legal status of the boot sector for 
oldworld Macs.

He pointed out that Darwin runs (and boots) on (at least) the beige 
G3, and that's oldworld.  I don't know anything about Darwin except 
that it's from Apple, it runs on PowerMacs, and it's open source, 
but he (and now I) wondered if the open source boot code for Darwin 
would do what we're looking for.

Just a thought?
