OK, I am ready to throw this PowerBook G3 (firewire/Pismo whatever) out the fricking window. For some reason it will not boot from the Debian "Woody" CD or anyother cd (including MacOS) for that matter. Actually I think the device alias for cd: is wrong but it won't let me change it with nvalias?? So I jump into handy dandy OF and do a:
0> boot ide1:,\install\powermac\yaboot I get the yaboot prompt. Then I do: boot: ide1:0,/install/powermac/vmlinux2.4 Kernel panic VFS blah blah. So I do: boot: ide1:0,/install/powermac/vmlinux2.4 root=/dev/hdf ro (which is the device found on previous boot of vmlinux2.4 image). Now I get Kernel Panic: no init found. Try passing the init= to the kernel or something to that affect. I have tried just about all known combinations of init= including append="init=/bin/sh" and nothing seems to get recognized. Can anyone save me before I either throw the PowerBook out the window or jump myself?? :-) Bye the way, I apologize but I don't subscribe to this list anymore. If possible could you please CC me on any answers? Thanks a million!!
