I used the "second" file (ELF image of secondary bootloader), put it on an HFS partition, and used the command boot hd:5,second (5 is the partition number of the HFS partition) It works. However, quik itself won't do anything useful since I didn't setup the boot device correctly (and I didn't have a kernel to boot from anyway). So basically, it should be possible to make bootable CDs with an HFS partition, a boot-info file with the type "tbxi" containing the above command and the "second" bootstrap. I don't know yet if we can also add a "first.b"/"second.b" version on the same CD for old machines, or if they can also do the above trick (they may be able using Apple's System Disk control panel which contains the appropriate OF patches). -- Perso. e-mail: Work e-mail: BenH.
