Can you mount the partition and put the tarball on it, and then booting this? Ramdisk: no, bootable cdrom: no, floppy install: no tftp-boot: yes You have an APUS system, that means -- if i'm correct informed -- you have an amiga as the host or base system with an expansion card, and on this card is the 604e proz. You boot m68k-linux and switch to the 604 part or booting the 604 and use the 68040 (or whatever) as fpu or second cpu , ???? Please describe your system a little bit. On the m68k side we have the bootstrap to boot the kernel. The kernel image is outside the root-partition. Can you do this also with your 604 system? MfG, Hartmut
