Hi,
obviously I am just to silly to install Debian on this machine. I tried the current potato disks-powerpc. Having some experience on installing Debian on i386 and sparc I have had no luck with the Mac so far. What happens is the following: trying to boot the rescue1440.bin floppy from OpenFirmware I always get errors with bad partition numbers. The boot-floppy-hfs.img boot fine (boot fd:linux), but cannot find an init. Fiddling around with kernel paramaters like load_ramdisk=1 and prompt_ramdisk=1 seemed to have little effect :-(. Obviously some people on this list have working PowerMacs with Debian. However I could not find anything in the archives about installing them :-(. So if anybody has any idea or pointer of what I am doing wrong I would be very grateful! Thanks, Christian
