The modifications for APUS haven't been integrated into AmiBoot yet, it's
called Boothack and the latest version is:

ftp://sunsite.auc.dk/pub/os/linux/apus/boothack/bh000414.lha

Note that the *boot_*up files must be in the same directory as boothack and
executable.


You also need the latest kernel for this:

ftp://sunsite.auc.dk/pub/os/linux/apus/v2.2/vmapus-2000.03.18.lha


Anyway, it should work even with your bootstrap and kernel.

What boot-floppies do you use?

No memfile should be needed anymore.
