external HD which had my MkLinux files.

On the Mac side, lilo.conf can be accessed from simpletext or from

the "Custom..." button of the MkLinux control panel. My previous

rootdev=/dev/sda5

(checked: sd = scsi device, a=scsi id 0, 5 = 5th partition

as seen using LinuxDisks...)

I changed to

rootdev=/dev/sde5

when I changed the SCSI Id from 0 to 4.

Then, on the MkLinux side, I used LinuxDisks and simpletext

to grab, edit, and overwrite /etc/fstab to read:

/dev/sde5 / ext2 rw 1 1

/dev/sde6 none swap defaults 0 0

/dev/sde7 /usr ext2 rw 2 2

/proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

and it booted up on my new 7300, using a version of the macOS

without the system enabler...

by the way, anyone know what the last two fields are about?

If I add another parition, say /data, would it be 3 3 ?

       The  fifth field, (fs_freq), is used for these filesystems
       by the dump(8) command to determine which filesystems need
       to  be dumped.  If the fifth field is not present, a value
       of zero is returned and dump will assume that the filesys-
       tem does not need to be dumped.

       The  sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) pro-
       gram to determine the order in which filesystem checks are
       done at reboot time.  The root filesystem should be speci-
       fied with a fs_passno of 1, and other  filesystems  should
       have a fs_passno of 2.  Filesystems within a drive will be
       checked sequentially, but filesystems on different  drives
       will  be  checked  at the same time to utilize parallelism
       available in the hardware.  If the sixth field is not pre-
       sent  or  zero,  a value of zero is returned and fsck will
       assume that the filesystem does not need to be checked.
