Pb to apply SystemDisk Patch on a PowerMac Beige G3

[kerneltux]

PowerMac Beige G3 Server seem to have the same motherboard than PowerMac Beige G3.
So I think that problem is the same for all Beige PowerMacs.

G3 Beige are known to be very difficult for Linux Boot, but it seem to be possible
because others did it.

I would have guessed them to be similar.

I tried hard getting quik to work on a PM4400 and a Beige G3,
but failed. Now I'm content booting the G3 via MacOS9 + bootx.
(In fact, I need that route anyway so Sonnet's MacOS extension
thingy runs and initialises the G4 upgrade processor's caches.)

Floppy boot is also possible, but the Beige G3s sometimes timeout
when booting from floppy, so one has to repeat the boot command.
