Hello, for helping d-i I got an 43p-140 (IBM RS/6000). Since there are no specific install instructions on http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.powerpc/index.html
Is it possible, to boot d-i on this prep-machine? And if so, which
would be the proper command?
Ah, this is a PReP machine, very fine then. It won't naturally not boot yaboot, but you should try netbooting :

Or even the 2.6 kernel when it will become available (tomorrow i think, but i can build you a special one) :
http://people.debian.org/~luther/debian-installer/daily-powerpc-built/daily/powerpc/netboot/vmlinuz-prep.initrd
Still not working on my old Prep.
I get stuck to "Now booting kernel..." with both cd and netboot vmlinuz-prep.initrd.
Is there a reason for it to display this on the serial console and not the following ?
For memory, my machine is a Bull Estrella 300 (Prep Utah PowerStack II Pro4000 to /proc/cpuinfo and has OpenFirmware).
