I was unable to boot this way from the Debian 2.2r3 CD on an iBook dual USB and I just tried it again. I just get a pure white screen, no boot: prompt or text of any sort. I can boot if I enter OpenFirmware and type: boot cd:\install\powermac\yaboot and then I do get a boot: prompt at which point I can type debian video=ofonly and boot into dbootstrap. Since my initial troubles getting Debian PowerPC installed, I have been able to install it and using benh's kernel source tree, I was able to get a lot working. My next goal is to get my X 4.1 to work with DRI and r128. -- Ron Golan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
