The files ataboot*.gz in this directory are compressed versions of ataboot,
the bootstrap program for Linux/m68k on Atari, running under TOS. Use
/usr/sbin/atabootconfig as a user-friendly interface for installing ataboot.

The img*Atari files in this directory are boot disk images for Atari,
for 1440k or 720k floppies, resp. You can copy them to a floppy with
the command

  gunzip -dc img1440Atari.gz | dd of=/dev/fd0 bs=1k count=1440

or substitute 720 for 1440 everywhere for DD disks. They both contain
the following files

  AUTO/
  AUTO/BOOTSTRA.PRG
  BOOTARGS

The bootargs file has still to be modified to mention the correct root
partition. You also have to add a kernel image (VMLINUX or VMLINUX.GZ
or VMLINUZ) to get a working boot disk.
