[This is a followup from debian-powerpc mailing list] Hi there,
I am trying to install debian on a PowerPC MacMini G4 using the following iso: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.5/powerpc/iso-cd/debian-505-powerpc-netinst.iso I burned this image on a Imation CD-R, which I check using the following: $ md5sum debian-505-powerpc-netinst.iso 86268f3a463460828ec12831d6520df7 debian-505-powerpc-netinst.iso $ isoinfo -d -i /dev/cdrom CD-ROM is in ISO 9660 format System id: LINUX Volume id: Debian 5.0.5 ppc Bin-1 Volume set id: Publisher id: Data preparer id: Application id: GENISOIMAGE ISO 9660/HFS FILESYSTEM CREATOR (C) 1993 E.YOUNGDALE (C) 1997-2006 J.PEARSON/J.SCHILLING (C) 2006-2007 CDRKIT TEAM Copyright File id: Abstract File id: Bibliographic File id: Volume set size is: 1 Volume set sequence number is: 1 Logical block size is: 2048 Volume size is: 102188 NO Joliet present Rock Ridge signatures version 1 found $ dd if=/dev/cdrom bs=2048 count=102188 conv=notrunc,noerror | md5sum 102188+0 records in 102188+0 records out 209281024 bytes (209 MB) copied, 56.3156 s, 3.7 MB/s 86268f3a463460828ec12831d6520df7 - However my mac refuse to boot from that cdrom. By any change do you guys have any information on how to debug this situation, i am quite unfamiliar with Apple Harddrive. To repeat what I said on the debian-powerpc, I tried the following media: - Imation CD-RW 80min - Maxell CD-R 80min Boot method used: - Holding 'C' before reboot - Holding 'Option' during reboot - Holding 'Option'+'Command'+o+f I could not find any combination working. When I tried booting from the open firmware: "Apple PowerMac10, 1 4.8.9f4 BootROM build on 03/23/05 at 14:22:23" the command: boot cd:,\\:tbxi keeps on reporting: 0 > boot cd:,\\tbxi DISK-LABEL: read block0 failed ATAPI-DISK: open of DISK-LABEL failed can't open: cd:,\\tbxi Can't open device or file 0 > eject cd: ok 0 > boot cd:,\\tbxi DISK-LABEL: read block0 failed ATAPI-DISK: open of DISK-LABEL failed can't open: cd:,\\tbxi Can't open device or file Does this ring a bell to anyone ?
