	It doesn't seem that way from an idiots perspective (that would be me).
BootX=written for PCI PowerMacs only, requires OpenFirmware. MkLinux
Booter=Nubus PowerMacs, no OpenFirmware. Mac 9150=Nubus, no
openfirmware,601. Perhaps the fuzzy math just isn't working for me? The
booter is just loading the kernel right? Me thinks the job would be far
easier to use MkLinux Booter for NuBus PPC machines.
If by chance you mean to use BootX for PCI&OFW PPC's, that would be a
different
story. Then I would agree, BootX is the most viable.
