m68k Linux floppy no-boot

[Bill Layer <blayer@uswest.net>]

I'm working to set up m68k Linux (Debian) on a Macintosh SE/30. The SE/30 
is stock, except for 32MB of RAM and an external 1GB drive. When I insert 
the "rescue.bin" boot floppy, the system starts to boot from the floppy, 
does a couple of seeks, then gives up and starts booting from the internal 
hard drive.

I have written two different floppies, both of which verified fine. Both 
floppies are producing the same results. I have also tried both floppies on 
different SE/30s (I have two). Same results.

My conclusion is that Debian sucks - JUST KIDDING :) Anyone have this 
distro working? PS what is meant by a Mach Kernel? Is that like a Mock Turtle?

TYIA, Bill
