Subject: Corrections for the installation manual (netboot PPC). Missing yaboot-netboot.conf Date: Friday 08 October 2004 22:27 From: Niklaus Giger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi I just tried a netboot installation with a PowerMac G3 and found the following inconsistencies in the manual (http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.powerpc/ch04s05.html) "For net booting, use the yaboot-netboot.conf. Just rename this to yaboot.conf in the TFTP directory. " I did not found a file yaboot-netboot.conf on the PPC-cdrom (30.09.04) nor in the d-i tree. However the following yaboot.conf works fine for me: --------------------------- timeout=100 device=enet: partition=0 init-message="Debian GNU/Linux Network boot for Debian-Installer (Sarge)"' default=linux label=linux image=/tftpboot/vmlinux initrd=/tftpboot/initrd.gz append="devfs=mount,dall init=/linuxrc --" initrd-size=10240 --------------------------- Please add to 'Next, place the TFTP boot image you need, as found in Section 4.2.1, âWhere to Find Installation Images", a sentence like: "Verify that you selected a netbootable kernel. Kernel to boot from a CD will fail."
