Re: Bug#382129: Beta3 won't boot on OldWorld PowerPC Mac



hey, there were some 68k macs that were upgrades
to powerpc (as nubus of course), also maybe last amiga

(aka commodore)
with 68040 originally running debian-ppc on its 604
card 
and debian-68k on its orginal, can switch back and
forth.
(see it running on the amiga-68k website)

anybody know if any NeXt was ever upgraded beyond
'040.
and do we count these as macs, now ?

more questions: is  anyone running mac-on-linux
(a ppc only debian package)  as linux (say to have
multiple
debian versions installed on one machine);
how about running debian-68k with an old ROM that way
as
opposed to using something like basilisk ?
