good, did the yaboot prompt show up?  i added a new image
debian-novideo for people with new fangled video hardware the kernel
doesn't know what to do with.

good thats the way its supposed to be.  all CDs mount under GNU/Linux
as ISO9660 right? (including CD1)/

also if anyone can make available a *permanent* distribution of bootx
in netatalk format (as a .tar.gz) i think i should be able to modify
debian-cd so it will be on CD1 in unpacked format.  this would
eliminate the encrpyted .sit archive we currently ship (which is all
benh provides) and eliminate the need for any kind of extraction
program to be used.
