I would like to make a complete list of the methods people use to boot the PPC/Linux kernel on different platforms. As a start, here is what I can think of off the top of my head: Powermac: vmlinux loaded with BootX vmlinux loaded with quik vmlinux loaded with yaboot vmlinux.coff loaded via OF netboot vmlinux.elf-pmac loaded via OF (disk or net boot) RS/6000 CHRP: vmlinux loaded with yaboot zImage.chrp-rs6k loaded via OF netboot RS/6000 43p-140: zImage.prep loaded via OF (floppy or hard disk)
APUS: vmlinux loaded with boothack (from AmigaOS) -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
