That's trivial. My plan is to have BootX app + kernel + ramdisk image
+ correct settings file on the HFS part of the CD, that way we can
tell Mac people to just double-click the BootX app to start the
install.
Knows someone the format for floppies/cdroms that OF can
'auto-start'? (format
of the bootsector/MBR)
I don't think you can make a floppy actually bootable. What we do on
the powermac side involves an HFS floppy and an XCOFF boot image.
You can actually, the NetBSD/macppc folks have raw disk images that
pmac OF can boot from with "boot fd:0".
