I agree this is not perfect, but as I wrote you privately, we can still use a small HFS partition with the second stage bootstrap beeing directly loaded by OF. This works now, I tested it last week. Not perfect, but better than BootX for those machine since the kernel will now be able to use RTAS ;-) -- Perso. e-mail: Work e-mail: BenH. Web : ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
