Quik is the only way to boot an oldworld from hard disk without
MacOS. I have gotten it to work pretty well on my Power Computing 180.
Assuming you have a working floppy drive, download the woody installer
floppy images, burn them, be sure they will boot, then install the new
drive and use the floppies to install Debian there. The Make Hard Disk
Bootable step will install quik. Then reboot, and cross your fingers.
