 Linux on PowerPC FAQ-O-Matic : Booting Trouble :
Getting rid of Mac OS |
| I'm running LinuxPPC on a PowerMac 7500/100. I want to get rid of Mac OS. Is there a way I can do this so that Linux will boot itself, rather than rely on BootX? Feel free to e-mail me as well as post a responce, thanks.

| You can attempt to use the quik bootloader. Similar to lilo from the x86 world, quik plays with the Open Firmware an gives you a simple boot prompt to allow you to choose what OS to boot. Installation and configuration are similar to lilo, instead of /etc/lilo.conf you have /etc/quik.conf with similar syntax. See the quik.conf and quik man pages. schwern@pobox.com | |
| Older macs do not have OpenFirmware, for those I believe you will still need MacOS.
