You can grab miboot (version 1.0d4-2) at:
deb http://sprite.fr.eu.org/dist/debian/ ./
It works here with this version and rsrce in the archive.

Hello,
First of all, please excuse the long silence, I've been a bit short of
d-i time lately...
After a quick look, the boot floppies built by Sven don't get their
kernel arguments substituted correctly in the System file, leaving the
old stuff in place. The consequence is that devfs will probab

Sadly, My PowerMac 6500/225 also shows the same symptoms. The boot
floppy (and the ofonlyboot floppy, as well) are read -- seemingly
successfully -- but the Tux/Mac icon never goes away.
I apologize to Malte. You were right. I was wrong. The kernel on the
floppies seems to be broken.
Enjoy!
My report on my attempt to boot an oldworld Mac from floppy is below...

Malte,
Errors like that are usually symptomatic of a dirty/dusty floppy drive.
In particular, if the boot floppy is ejected, it means that the
firmware got an error trying to read it, or couldn't find the magic

Hi.
I reported recently on my failure to use the d-i floppies for the 4400/200. I
tested the current (04/06/2004) bootfloppies on that machine and an 7200/75
