I booted with a kernel image from SuSE. You can download one on: http://cronos.dci.ubiobio.cl/~gpoo/rs6000/ You can boot from network, as howto says. My dhcp configuration has a section as: host power3 { # Desde el OpenFirmware de IBM 7044-140P: # 0> boot net console=ttyS0,9600 filename "/tftpboot/zImage.chrp-power3-2.4.16-SMP-3"; hardware ethernet 00:06:29:04:30:ae; fixed-address my_ip; } > Should the debian cd image created from > debian-30r1-powerpc-binary-1_NONUS.iso be bootable? > If so, how do I convince SMS to boot from it? > If not how should I create a boot floppy that will work and how do I get SMS > to boot that? It doesn't work yer, AFAIR. -- German Poo Caaman~o mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ubiobio.cl/~gpoo/chilelindo.html
