PowerPC cd status
So, with a tremendous effort from Ethan Benson, I now understand how to make
new-world bootable CDs. A conversation with Ben told me my problem with
floppy-booting on oldworld, so that should be fixed soon also. At that
point I am looking at (with luck) having the first CD be new-world bootable
and also PReP (hopefully adding an HFS partition table will not muck up the
prep booter and vice versa. I have high hopes.). It will include floppy
images (does anyone know how to make DiskCopy images without DiskCopy, or
must I resort to making them by hand? I'd really rather not) that should
boot OldWorld machines, also.
All of that is still theoretical right now, however.
What I can say for sure is:

-rw-rw-r-- 1 dan Debian 162017280 Mar 21 17:28 potato-powerpc-3.raw
Obviously I need to cut the size limits a little lower, but otherwise, we're
making real progress here :)
