Try passing video=radeon:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (or [EMAIL PROTECTED], ...) to the
kernel.
Thanks guys. Setting the video mode worked! [Once I figured out how to
pass it. ;-) I couldn't find an example of passing parameters to the
installer in the installation guide, or oddly, even in the
BootPrompt-HOWTO. It might be there somewhere, but I couldn't find it.
It was only after guessing, and an accidental look at yaboot.conf that I
figure it out.]
I have proceeded to the next level...
Installing Debian is sort of like Junkyard Wars (aka Scrapheap
Challenge): all the pieces are there somehow, one just has to figure out
how which ones to use and how to paste them together. Phew, what an
exhausting experience. But I once had a working Debian system, and know
that once one gets through the birth canal, it's a relatively carefree
distribution.
Thanks again guys. (I might need you again ;-P)
