Comments/Problems:
Choice : francais, keyb fr
The computer is not connected to a network. It tried network card config, and failed.
Now, the problems:
1. I have chosen "Detecter et monter le cederom", but instead it entered in network card config and tried DHCP, asked IP etc. After that, I have chosen the next option.
You did not tell us exactly which image you tried. There are businesscard and netinstall images for beta2 on cdrom. Both of these images will not install a usable debian system without a network connection. So it makes perfect sense to insist on network configuration. If you only want the first part of the installation you can configure a static network and the installation will continue without further asking about network configuration.
As specified in the "Method:" line above, I tried the powerpc netinstall CD image.
I tried again the installation without network, I put valid numbers (ip: 2.2.2.2, mask: 255.255.255.0, p 2.2.1, dns nothing, name debian, domain toto.com) and it worked. Before, when the installation failed, I think that I typed invalid entries for network (if I remember well) and passed manually to the next menu choice (about CDROM detection). I did not know that I *must* enter valid entries for network information, even if I am not connected to a network. I did not know that I need a network connection to install a usable debian system, sorry.
4. I have chosen "Partitionnement". I have tape ctrl-c, and it exited and printed the boot screen. Now the computer is blocked.
Where did you type ctrl-c? In the screen to select the disk to partition or in mac-fdisk? You can leave mac-fdisk by typing q
In mac-fdisk. Unfortunately, I do not remember *why* I typed ctrl-c, since I might use q...
However, I tried again the installation and, instead of choosing the normal exit with q, I typed ctrl-c. It shown again the boot screen (Freeing unused kernel memory... Setting up filesystem..., and several errors about modprobe after that) and it blocked. Shouldn't the signal ctrl-c be caught?
Thank you, Eugen
