Okay. I've fixed a couple of bugs related to this (and OpenSUSE works, although still suffers from the initial incorrect argument parsing) but now I find that my old Fedora iso fails to boot.
It seems as if Fedora expects the CDROM HFS filesystem to be partition 0, whereas OpenSUSE wants it to be partition 1. In packages/mac-parts.c I can see that there is an Apple_partition_map slice of the disk occupying slice 0 of the volume - can anyone with a PPC Mac confirm whether or not this is or is not included in the OpenBoot partition numbering?
If you could be slightly more precise on what exactly I'd type in, I can certainly give it a try on my iBook. Also, please give me exact links to the isos you're referring to (preferrably netinstall) so we're on the same page.
