most developments are on debian, and childs like amiga arch follow some time, 
sadly

thats the way, bootstrap is okay on another computer, but the boot strap should 
be recompiled on real hardware

 MK> Just out of curiousity which Amiga model do you have?

plenti :)

a1000
a2000
a3000
a4000
a4000t
a500
a600
a1200
cd32

and emulator friends :)

most of the above is 68000 cpu and other of them is minimal 68020, and 68030, 
68060

a600 would have being a good computer it there was more memory in it pr 
default, and it could flash update kickstarts roms
