Bug#237307: ITP: miboot -- Linux bootloader for OldWorld PowerMac computers

[Jeremie Koenig <sprite@sprite.fr.eu.org>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Section: contrib/utils
Priority: optional
Description: Linux bootloader for OldWorld PowerMac computers
 miBoot is loaded at boot by the MacOS ROM present in OldWorld PowerMac
 computers, as a fake MacOS "System" file.
 .
 Unlike quik, miBoot isn't loaded directly at the OpenFirmware stage, and can
 be used to create boot floppies. You will need an HFS partition if you wand
 to use it from a hard disk. It's mostly non-interactive and won't let you
 edit kernel arguments on boot.

miBoot itself is licensed under the GPL, but it depends on proprietary
software to be built from source. I've primarily packaged this for
building OldWorld PowerMac d-i floppy disks.
