You need two floppies for oldWorld Macs, and neither one is made from the rescue.bin floppy image. That image, unlike its i386 couterpart, is just for the to-be-installed kernel. Burn hfs-boot-floppy.img to one floppy, and root.bin to another. Insert hfs-boot-floppy, it should ask for root.bin, and you're on the road. Please read the manual (link in my .sig). It's all in there. -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> | | debian-imac (potato): <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
