mac99+970 only boots with a 64bit kernel. 32bit are not supported because
of the use of the rfi instruction which was removed in v2.01. 32bit user
space is supported though.
However I was not able to build a disk with a compatible boot partition
for OpenBIOS. The above support only applies for kernel loaded in memory.
May be Mark knows how to do this ?
The Mac machines generally require a HFS filesystem for booting with OpenBIOS: it's a
bit convoluted, but some instructions for grub can be found at
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GRUB_on_Open_Firmware_(PowerPC).
I can certainly help out if you get stuck. If this is a more obscure combination then
is it worth adding a tiny image for use with avocado?
ATB,
Mark.
