Dear Claus, sorry that I let wait you so long. I uploaded a "Mach Kernel" image with Sarge installer to my webspace: "http://home.vrweb.de/internetzel/Mach Kernel" (don't forget the white space in "Mach Kernel"!) I hope that kernel image will boot on your machine. You will have to adjust the MkLinux Bootloader configuration to something like this: mach_options=keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes=1 ramdisk=16384 devfs=mount
Perhaps you will also need to add a "video=..." argument. Once the installer loads you will have to select USB keyboard (not mac keyboard!) and perhaps you will have to select it multiple times to make installer accept the choice without an error message.
