Early versions of Mac OS X Developer Preview require a BootP server to get an IP address instead of a DHCP server.

I run a Debian-based Linux distribution as my main machine. I followed these steps to get the old computer online.

== Connection Sharing ==

# Connect your PowerPC Mac directly to your Debian computer using an Ethernet cable.
# Run <code>nm-connection-editor</code>.
# Add a new connection.
# Set the device to your Ethernet interface.
# Go to IPv4 Settings.
# Set Method to ''Shared to other computers''.
# Go to IPv6 Settings.
# Set Method to ''Shared to other computers''.
# Save.

== ISC dhcpd ==

It's called dhcpd, but it also supports BootP.

# Run <code>sudo apt install isc-dhcp-server</code>.
# Edit <code>/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf</code>.
# Add this to make your Debian computer 10.42.0.1 and your PowerPC Mac pick anything from 10.42.0.10 through 10.42.0.100:

subnet 10.42.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range dynamic-bootp 10.42.0.10 10.42.0.100;
option broadcast-address 10.42.0.255;
option routers 10.42.0.1;
}
