and its this flawed system configuration that has resulted in many unbootable systems, and why i won't support the utterly evil hack of mounting an hfs partition on /boot
well I definitely don't do that. I only mount the hfs partition when i need to copy the kernel to it, otherwise it remains unmounted.
I'd prefer to use quik for booting, but i just spent 2 days dinking around with Open Firmware on my SuperMac C500 and can't get it to boot with quik. I only managed to get it to boot to Open Firmware with video output once, never again. and i've never gotten to boot from the scsi device.
since i was more interested in getting Debian up and running than messing around with a screwed up Open Firmware, I put boot x back on and moved on.
