Re: [TCLUG:23056] m68k Linux floppy no-boot

[Ben Kochie <ben@nerp.net>]

ack.. you don't dd that image.. it's not mac bootable.. loading linux/bsd
on 68k macs is complicated.. you have to re-partiton it, load macOS, and
then use a macOS boot loader on the kernel image... Mach Kernel is for PPC

Thank You,
