You can get past this by setting the booter's "booting" options correctly.
Basically, just check the box that says "Don't bug me about untested machine".
Unfortunately, I believe that the Q605 uses the same SCSI controller chip
as the Q610 and is therefore not going to work anyway.  The proper SCSI
driver has not been written yet.  With the Q610 and the adbtest kernel
it gets all the way to telling me there is no boot device and quits.
Can someone else chime in as to whether the Q605 uses the NCR53C90 SCSI
chip or not??
