I'm already on the dark side with my Beige G3, OF 2.4. (Although there
is still an empty partition reserved on it:-)

I tried to boot from floppy, cd, hd and network, trying any variation
of load-base, and always got the DEFAULT CATCH, too.

Linux also wasn't able to boot directly from OF, only the method with
BootX worked...
