Hi there,
This is to confirm a weird issue.
The machine is a Workgroup Server 8550/200 running MacOS 9.0.4.
I installed 9.0.4 myself from an original CD.
I am using BootX as bootloader.
Basically, when I install Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 on this Workgroup Server
8550/200,
- all of the installation goes well
- but after the reboot, the only thing I see on the screen is the floppy
disk with a flashing "?" in it
I first thought Open Firmware was "messed up". I tried Command-Option-P-R
until I heard two startboings. Did not solve the problem.
Then I thought this was due to quik "messing up" the partition table and/or
blessed partition. So I re-installed Debian GNU/Linux 4.0, with the option
"priority=low", and I told debian-installer *not* to install quik
.. anyway, even if I do not attempt to install quik, the machine still
becomes unbootable
Here is the output of mac-fdisk:
(see above)
Of course, I did not mess with all the non-Linux partitions
The only way I know to fix this is:
Boot on a bootable System 7.x or MacOS 8.x floppy
Double-click "Apple HD SC Setup 7.3.5"
Choose "Update"
Reboot the machine

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful
The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet.
In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.
You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.
If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.
Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
