okay, i built the initrd and then transferred it over to the mac os
partition. selected it with bootx, set video driver to off. the boot
process halts right after detecting the floppy disk (where it would usually
then detect the scsi bus). i get the error,
Oops: kernel access of bad area. sig: 11
then a few lines of more info (mainly looks like machine code to me, except
for
Task=c0466000 [1] 'swapper' last syscall: 120
kernel panic: attempted to kill init!
then i have to reboot. i left the ramdisk size as the default in bootx,
should i increase that?
thanks for all the help.
