This is awesome to see finally out! From a cursory look inside, the necessary control panel to boot seems to be located in /src/boot/Mac2 in Mach.Hqx. I'm not near any compatible Macs right now, but it'd be awesome to see someone try this out!

From https://www-ftp.lip6.fr/pub/mach/cmu/FAQ/obsolete/MacMach.FAQ:

B) What Macintosh's run MacMach?
II, IIx, IIci, IIfx, SE/30, ClassicII
at least 8MB ram, at least 80MB disk (300MB for full+sources)
Looks like I need to get my SE/30 up again.

This might be dangerous, in a good way! 🙂

Which tarball is this in?

Which tarball is this in?
I was looking at 6.92. It's in /usr (usr.tar.Z), so the full path would be /usr/src/boot/Mac2. That's a mistake in my post above, whoops.
