Recommended Booter versions Version: 1.9.4 Author: Brian Gaeke * First Booter to support any 68040 (i.e. Quadra-class) machines. Known to boot kernels from NetBSD/Mac68k versions 1.1 and later. For kernels older than 1.1, your mileage may vary -- in theory the support is still there, but it's not been tried in quite a while Version: 1.11.0 Authors: Scott Reynolds, Nigel Pearson * User interface improvements, plus the following changes from earlier versions: + Allows booting with larger kernels (many post 1.2 kernels require this Booter) + New 'Auto Set GMT bias' checkbox which uses the 'Map' Mac OS Control panel to set Unix's time zone information + New ability to boot from gzip-ed kernel files + New serial fields to set different default serial port speeds + New Monitors options which allow changing of the main screen depth before booting Version: 1.11.1 Authors: Nigel Pearson, Scott Reynolds * Some user interface improvements * If boot is aborted, resets monitor depth * Saves preferences in a separate file, rather than in the program's resources * Added video address hack for LC475/LC575 Macs' console on internal video * Handles kernels in Mac OS files much better * Better debugging/error output for low-level SCSI stuff Information about other versions of the Booter can be found in the file ChangeLog.txt in either the Booter src archive, or at: http://www.macbsd.com/macbsd/booter-manual/ChangeLog.txt Nigel Pearson 3rd December 1997
