Hi,
I'm having trouble booting Linux on my Power Macintosh 7200/75.
Installation of Debian 2.2 went fine (booting MacOS on an external disk
and using BootX to boot into Linux works fine).
Right now I'm not able to boot directly into Linux - I have to boot
MacOS and then use BootX to get Linux running.
Read quik(8), quik.conf(5) - no success. /etc/quik.conf looks like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat /etc/quik.conf
root=/dev/sda2
timeout=100
image=/vmlinuz
label=linux
read-only
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# quik -v
Second-stage loader is on /dev/sda2
Config file is on partition 2
Writing first-stage QUIK boot block to /dev/sda2
Making /dev/sda2 bootable (map entry 2)
Writing block table to boot block on /dev/sda2

Still not able to boot directly into Linux.
I've haven't figured out how booting of a PowerPC works? I suppose I'm
missing something?
My disk-layout looks like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# mac-fdisk -l /dev/sda
/dev/sda
# type name length base (
size ) system
/dev/sda1 Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 (

Any help is appriciated.
