Are there any bootable m68k images of Gentoo, Linux or any BSD that i can just dd?
Id like to have a working system up. Has any progress been made? A website i can follow?
Thanks

| I was going to install NetBSD onto a Macintosh SE until i found the system was probably too crappy, plus i didnt have 800K floppy disks for it, but their site is pretty good, just go to netbsd.org and click on the mk68 link |

There is emile! You can boot from diskette to debian now. Hope this will get some gentoo going in this area.
http://emile.sourceforge.net/
And as long as you know which USB drive your diskette is in you can dd a bootdisk from MacOS X.
| Code: | Open the terminal program.
Plug in USB diskette drive.
insert a diskette.
Check disk name on desktop in this case "NO_NAME". If it doesn't appear try console to see what happened.
$ mount
/dev/disk0s2 on / (local)
devfs on /dev (local)
fdesc on /dev (union)
<volfs> on /.vol (read-only)
/dev/disk0s3 on /Volumes/switch (local)
automount -fstab [371] on /Network/Servers (automounted)
automount -static [371] on /automount (automounted)
/dev/disk1 on /Volumes/NO_NAME (local, nodev, nosuid)
In this case it is /dev/disk1. You need to unmount it so that dd can write effectivly.
$ sudo unmount /dev/disk1
cd the directory that the disk-image is in
$ cd emile/
And write the image to diskette.
$ sudo dd if=emile-rescue-0.9.bin of=/dev/disk1 bs=512 conv=sync
2880+0 records in
2880+0 records out
1474560 bytes transferred in 192.337579 secs (7667 bytes/sec) |
And you have you floppy to boot unix on a old mac! This works for me, your mileage may vary.
