Re: BootX

Hi,

The link:

to download the latest source does not seem to have anything useful???

Hi,

This would require quik, right? I went to penguinppc.org and tried to
get the latest BootX and quik but the links are dead. Do you know
where the latest versions are?

That link still works:

Oops... typing FAIL :-)

I meant:

http://penguinppc.org/bootloaders/quik/

However, it's possible that distros like debian have done more changes to it.

Another option is to netboot a zImage directly, which works if it's not
too big.

Cheers,
Ben.

Hi,

Anyone familiar with BootX? Could my problems with the 8600 be related
to some interaction with BootX?

It's possible. Have you tried using OF booting instead ? The 8600 should
be cable to boot off SCSI or netboot COFF images.

Cheers,
Ben.
