Hm, I think so. Booting from the floppy there is no problem with the screen output. But from BootX it does not work. I tried several combinations of video=atyfb:vmode:xx,cmode:8 but nothing is working. Also with the option "Force ...". 1. Maybe there is another video=?? possible. Velocity and X is not an issue for a fileserver. 2. I searched the net and found http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/4/1998/8/0/58721/ with a description how to boot linux. But I am not familiar with Open Firmware and so are not able to follow the instructions now I am going to read: http://lppcfom.sourceforge.net/fom-serve/cache/217.html. > ssh is not installed as part of the base system.

A MacOS cd is booting. After 2 floppys the files are fetched from the debian cd. Maybe I try your tip this evening. Joachim
