I also try to install Debian/powerpc.
LinuxPPC R4 is in /dev/sdb5 and I install Debian to /dev/sdd5.
What I do in LinuxPPC R4 is as below;
# mount /dev/sdd5 /mnt/sdd5
# tar zxvf base2_1.tgz -C /mnt/sdd5
# cd /mnt/sdd5/etc
# vi fstab
/dev/sdd5 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/sdd4 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9960 noauto,ro 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
# vi hostname
athome (as you like)
# vi hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
# vi resolv.conf
search y-min.or.jp
nameserver ***.***.***.***
# cd /mnt/sdd5/etc/init.d
# vi network
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add 127.0.0.0 lo
ifconfig eth0 ***.***.***.** netmask 255.255.255.240
route add default gw ***.***.***.*** metric 1
# chmod 755 network
# cd /mnt/sdd5/sbin
# mv unconfigured.sh unconfigured.sh.org
or
# rm uncofigured.sh
If /sbin/unconfigured.sh is present, it will make reboot.
After you can reboot from /dev/sdd5,
you can not set keymap and can not login as root.
After forced reboot by comman+option+powerkey,
you can login. (Why ?, I don't know.)
