Yeah, but it requires a custom kernel. You have to either compile the Darwin kernel or substitute an earlier kernel, IIRC.

I haven't done any more work on the 6500 OS X machine. With the L2 cache, it was actually useable, but not exactly fast. I'd really like to get OS X's kernel booted via the Linux boot loaders such as BootX or the MkLinux Booter. Unfortunately, this is probably beyond my meager skills and will take some serious re-engineering of the boot loaders to get them to load the OS X/Darwin kernel...

Unless there is a Darwin kernel booter for Old World Macs that works with the L2 upgrades on 6500s... Wink

Peace,
Drew
