My Debian-savvy pal got it set up on my crusty old Performa 6400 except
for one problem. We absolutely cannot get it to boot from the hard
drive (and instead have to go in through BootX on a scsi zip drive)
The problem may be that in our rushed partitioning, we created the
following table:
(dev : name : type)
hda1: Apple_Partition_Map : Apple
hda2: Apple_Bootstrap : bootstrap
hda3: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 : swap
hda4: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 : linux
We now think that the "bootstrap" partition is unneccessary and only
used for newworld machines (which the 6400 is not)
At any rate, we absolutely cannot achieve a set of nvsetenv vars that
will make OpenFirmware happy (the fact that OF doesn't seem to have any
display, at least on the monitor that we're using, doesn't help).
Any ideas? I'm a developer, not much of a sysadmin, so I'm pretty
useless here... Thanks in adance for any wisdom...
