If there's a decent walkthrough on getting the 68k bootloader running thru debian....I have a A4000 and a Centris 610 that I could certainly setup to help out. I've ran Linuxes of all flavors on x86 for a long time, and I've followed this list for a few years now. I'd like to help contribute but want up-to-date information on how to get booted(EMILIE bootloader for example).
