Or try plaing with load-base, but be warned that some people have
rendered their machine unbootable with it.

Most probably yes. The conclusion the original submitter of the bug and
I came to was that the buggy quik was plain simple _unable_ to boot any
G3 processor.
Blame me for not clearing the issue earlier; I originally fixed quik for
my old LinuxPPC installation, but didn't reinstall quik when moving to
woody. On the beige G3 at work I had the problem and used my old first.b
from the 7600... without really investigating what the root problem was.
