I've used this trick to install Debian on my iMac/DV this week-end. I had a bit more problems with the iBook SE (the new one with DVD), the kernel doesn't recognize the Rage 128 Mobility so the display *seems* to hang after the "Booting..." message. Adding "novideo" to yaboot.conf solves the problem. (I was using the stock kernel from the R0 CDs). A couple of things, I'll like to see changed. Daniel, I think you are responsible for the PPC boot-floppies: would you add "eject" to it ? Otherwise, you have to use a paperclip to get the CD out on multiple CD installs, with slot-loading iMacs. Ethan, your mac-fdisk document should really be added to the Debian/PPC install doc. Invaluable. I still have to test XF4 on these 2 machines. Does the ati128 driver recognize the Rage 128 Mobility ?
