Hmmm, I think I had the same problem. Have a look on this page: http://www.cpu.lu/~mlan/linux/dev/g3upgrade.html or, more precisely, this topic: http://www.cpu.lu/~mlan/linux/dev/g3upgrade.html#ictc The problem is with the SCSI driver. You can also try and plug your internal SCSI chain on the external bus (just move the ribbon connector on the motherboard). > The Basic Debian-System (Woody 3.0r1) is installed, but quik can't be > installed. Don't know why, but installation ends with an error-message: > "Quik installation failed, you can't boot without a bootdisk!" > Fortunately, the debian-installer-program can't create a bootfloppy on > powerpc-machines, you know. I boot my 7600/G3 with quik, so it can be done. But you might have to use the quik first-stage from here: http://www.cpu.lu/~mlan/ftp/quik-first.b-g3 Cheers Michel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michel Lanners | " Read Philosophy.
