The 540c has no FPU.
Linux and BSD will not run on it.
To make it work you need either an FPU upgrade (a full 68040 chip) or
a PPC upgrade board. Both are extremely rare and almost impossible to
source especially here in Australia.
My little Mac is now a MIDI workstation for my music studio....
I do have the Mac 68k version of MI/X Xserver and it works fine.
Now I need an NFS or Samba client and it will be close enough to UNIX
for me....
