Oh yeah, BootX. All beige PPC Macs use a MacOS app called BootX to launch Linux. You need to keep at least a minimal MacOS system on your hard drive to get the boot process started, then you can have BootX switch over during the boot or wait until MacOS loads completely before switching. Either way, it should work.
And what about miBoot?
New world, beige means oldworld.
Mklinux uses a fake macos system file to boot straight to linux, a hack I guess would work with other distros. The docs with the distro are half right.
Bootx will work from a hdd using a system folder copied from a disk tools floppy to a 10mb *mac* partition. Well it works here.
