I think you can keep the OS9 partition for BootX pretty small.
And you could also think of getting a bigger drive!

But aside from this, I'd be very interested if you can get quik or miboot
to work. I am using BootX on a 6500, and have not been able to get my
Sonnet L2/G3 extension card to work under linux. Possibly a different
boot loader might help. So let us know your experiences.
