I found another image at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/kernel/BETA/deflt/floppy/ and tried that. This got further but hung with the following: ...ok copying OF device tree... done Initializing fake screen: display Calling quiesce... returning 00010000 from prom_init I'm downloading the image from your site just now. I'm not sure what you mean when you say I can boot from a network, my network here consists of a couple of laptops and the RS6000, none of which is a boot server. Do you mean that I could boot from a public server (which is not appealing) or have I misunderstood? Thanks for your help, Michael
