Talk:BootX (Apple)

Split Article

I suggest that this article be split into two articles: something along the lines of "BootX (Apple)" and "BootX (Linux)", and replace this page with a disambiguation page.

That has been done.  Atyndall93 | talk  10:49, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Does Mac OS X have a special code for the Apple Computer logo? Junkcops (talk) 22:54, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure what you mean by a code. If your looking for where the logo is stored in Mac OS X then I believe that it can be found in some of the kernal files (a google search would help you find it) Foxy Loxy ^Pounce! 01:07, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

The correct URL still works; the difference is that it doesn't have a / at the end. Guy Harris (talk) 17:39, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

Old World ROM

On New World Macs, Open Firmware finds BootX and starts it, but what happens on Old World Macs? Is there some software that gets started by the classic Mac OS that either runs BootX or is BootX? (With references, of course.) Guy Harris (talk) 09:08, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

• @Guy Harris: I saw that you added the update needed orange banner concerning this section. Is the banner still valid? If so, should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 03:07, 15 May 2026 (UTC)

Presumably you meant "expand section" banner rather than "update needed" banner. And, yes, it still needs expansion to cover the Old World ROM Macs. I'll leave it to others to decide whether that means it's not a "good article". Guy Harris (talk) 06:41, 15 May 2026 (UTC)
