Hi, I think I found something usefull regarding the original boot floppy for the powermac. It locks your keyboard, so I did the following:
mount the disk vi or edit .resource/System find 'prompt_ramdisk=1' change 1 into 0 write it and boot it You just have to be quick when changing disks. I think this solution is far more simpile then the ones described below (which I only got worked half). Does this sound reasonable to you? Should I send this to someone at Debian, so they can make an 'alternative bootdisk'?
