But I installed debian with the boot floppy from http://www.solinno.co.uk/7043-140/files/2.4.19/zImage.prep-2.4.19 and the root-floppy from http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-powerpc/current/prep/images-1.44/root.bin and this started a debian stable installation. I also booted the installation with the zImage.prep-2.4.19 floppy and installed a new kernel kernel-image-2.4.18-powerpc But can't get the machine to boot from disk I have the following partitioning: Disk Drive: /dev/sda Size: 9100369920 bytes Heads: 64 Sectors per Track: 32 Cylinders: 8678 Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ sda1 Boot Primary PPC PReP Boot 2.10 sda2 Primary Linux swap 511.71 sda3 Primary Linux ext3 4095.74 Pri/Log Free Space 4490.01 And tried to install the bootloader with yabootconfig -r /dev/sda3 -b /dev/sda1 p43:~# yabootconfig -r /dev/sda3 -b /dev/sda1 yaboot is the Linux Loader for PowerPC. yabootconfig sets up your system to boy from your hard disk, without the need for a boot CD, floppy or a network boot. Install yaboot bootstrap on /dev/sda1 to boot Linux from /dev/sda3? [Yes] Creating a simple /etc/yaboot.conf... Running mkofboot to make the disk bootable... mkofboot: Warning: Incompatible version of `nvsetenv', nvram will not be updated Done p43:~# What's the problem with this error message? Why isn't the system bootgin from disk? The following boot order is configured: floppy cdrom disk network Thanks jaybe
