Hi there, I have been using Debian (x86) for a few years now. I have a Power Macintosh I am trying to install onto for the first time. Since I didn't find a base*.tgz for woody, I figured I would at least get the machine up on potato. I would be happy to try to test the woody install if I get a base from somewhere. I would subscribe to debian-boot, but it seems like alot of -dev issues.
I am probably doing something stupid or have a floppy hardware problem, but here goes... I am unable to get my BIOS to read the first floppy disk. I tried re-writing to the floppy disk several times using OS 9's diskcopy, downloaded the image twice, and wrote to two different floppies for rescue.bin. I also tried to write the image from my i386 machine but it didn't help. I saw the boot-floppy-hfs.img file but I can't recall the type & creator codes to use for them. It's been a few years since I did QA for a software company on Macs. I was working at SuSE Linux most recently. I didn't see anything mentioned about the .img file in the installation guide. boot disks 2.2.23-2001-04-15 (potato "current") Old world PCI PowerPC machine, Power Computing PowerWave 604|120 98 MB RAM, external 8 GB SCSI (5.5GB free) CD-ROM built-in network card in motherboard. Cable modem with access router to the Internet. Messing with BootX, miBoot and/or Quik is my next strategy, but I wanted to check here before diving into these areas. So, any more tricks I can try to create a working set of boot floppies? -- -- Grant Bowman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
