Does anyone know? hexeditor /mnt/floppy/.resource/System there is a resource in there somewhere that has the kernel arguments, ive heard its not too hard to find and edit in a hex editor. unfortunatly miboot really badly needs a text based configuration file... > I suspect the .rootinfo may have something to do with the bootup for linu= x, > though not sure and I dont know where to find docs on this stuff either. no .rootinfo is a hfs thing, don't mess with it, all you would likely end up doing is trashing the filesystem. =20 if you have access to macos and resedit/resourcerer you might find those simpler to edit the System file. (beware that MacOS may make the floppy unbootable if you mount it read-write on macos. (ive heard its more forgiving of floppies then disk partitions though, ymmv as usual)) --=20 Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/ --TX8FgYyhBart40Z+ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature --TX8FgYyhBart40Z+-- ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
