In fact I just need some time... I've two 6100 (+ Sonnet), one 5275
and one 7100 to test it....
Thank you for this proposition.

There is already some code in EMILE to manage powerpc.
I've added some code to manage ELF object to boot from CDROM and I
think it should help to boot powerpc kernel and netbsd.

My priorities are:
- sources clean up
- boot directly from CDROM (Need to write an Apple_Driver)
- read kernel from an ext2 filesystem by specifying filename
- boot with a menu to select between several kernels
- boot netbsd
- boot powerpc kernel
- boot on a classic macintosh (I need to work on linux for the
classic too)
- boot AROS on a macintosh classic
- port EMILE to Amiga (It seems Amiboot needs workbench)
- add support to ATA interface.
And moreover I'd like to work on linux 2.6 for macintosh...

Laurent
