Actually you've just reminded me of something else. The MkLinux
booter is one of only two I've tried that's even comes close to
booting my 6200 as it actually gets to booting the kernel. BootX
just crashes. The only other one was the booter for PowerOS
that was a MacOS application that used a workaround in the 68K
emulator to get into supervisor mode. The page for that went
down a few years back though AFAIK.
