As you wish, but please don't CC me. If you're running Debian on powerpc, you'll find this list to be really useful, so I would subscribe anyways... > I'm a newbie who enjoys debian and got sick of os x, but am having trouble > installing debian for the first time.

What linux image are you using? If you're using a custom linux image, you MUST disable devfs. Otherwise the installer won't see your hard disk, which is the symptoms you describe. You should use the official linux image from here: http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-powerpc/current/new-powermac/linux.bin > IN from bad port cfc at c00f5598 I think this is "normal". BTW, Have you actually tried booting from an official CD image?
