My oldworld machine's OF (1.0.5) defaults to using a serial console for output.
If you have a MacOS boot source - i.e. cd or hard drive partition or disk tools
floppy - you can reset

I think the 9500 is like my s900 in that it relies on a PCI card for video. I
also think that the original poster said he was using an IMS TwinTurbo 4MB card.
I have success with my machine by setting the OF ouput-device to
/bandit/IMS,tt128mb. You can use an 8MB card with /bandit/IMS,tt128mb8, but
I am using a 4mb imstt128 on a dual processor s900 (same motherboard as 9500). I
can get up to 1600x1200 with the fbdev or 1280x1024 with the imstt driver -
both at 16 bit color depth. The relevant section of my XF86Config-4 is:
Section "Device"
Identifier "imstt128mb"
BusID

Try putting the kernel in a folder name "Linux Kernels" in your System
Folder, or in a folder with the same name next to the BootX App. The
ramdisk.image.gz can be put anywhere and selected under the options
button on either the app or extension. You need the kernel to boot,

With my setup, just pressing the command key is equivalent to depressing
the second button of the mouse - no mouse click required. Very few, if
any, X apps that I use map anything to the command key, whereas many use
control and option. You can pass the keycode for any key you wish to the

to get your keymap working, uncomment the lines under powermac in
/etc/X11/XModmap and add "exec xmodmap /etc/X11/Xmodmap &" to your
.xinitrc file. I emulate a three button mouse by passing
"adb_buttons=103,55" to the kernel at boot (via quik or BootX) which
uses the command key as button two and F
