Re: netatalk + a2boot

["pitz" <wongpet1@msu.edu>]

I have been successful in remote booting the IIgs from a Mac LC 475 
(pre-ppc).  It needed AppleShare 3.0 (although 2.0 might also work).  The 
standard file sharing that comes with Mac OS does not support remote booting 
the IIgs.

Although not exactly the same as Linux/netatalk, I was able to configure the 
LC 475 to perform remote booting of the IIgs through either the LocalTalk 
connector, or through an Ethernet card connected to a hub and using a 
Farallon bridge (I tried an AsanteTalk bridge but could not get that to 
work).
