Hi,

The 2.6 images now fit on a physical floppy, so that's good.
Unfortunately, the resulting floppy doesn't boot on my G3. It reads
and gives me a tux-mac icon, but when it gets to the end the screen
colors invert, and it just sits there. No text screen. The boot
floppy doesn't eject. When I eject it manually, feed it the "root"
floppy, and hit <return>, nothing happens.
This is probably a matter of passing the correct kernel command line
(you want a video= parameter for the screen and load_ramdisk=1
prompt_ramdisk=1 for reading the root floppies). The command line
goes into the resource fork of the System file on the miBoot floppy,
and you need Mac OS and ResEdit for changing it.
Jens, when you built those miboot floppies that worked, what
command line
options did you use ? We currently have :
root=0200 load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=1 devfs=mount
and :
root=0200 load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=1 devfs=mount video=ofonly
Also, could you give those daily built floppies a try, since you
where able to
make it work previously ?
