Hi all,

I'm trying to install woody on a beige g3, 266 some 256 mb and a 4 gig ide hard.
I start the process via floppy, partition the hard, install the base file, 
however when is time to make "system
bootable" it gives me this error:

"THE REQUIRED ACTION CANNOT BE PERFORMED BECAUSE THE ROOT PARTITION MUST BE ON 
THE FIRST DISK"

... well I'm lost, I have the 4 gig ide with the following partitions:

/dev/hdd1      Apple_UNIX_SVR2     root     [EMAIL PROTECTED] (3.8G)
/dev/hdd2      Apple_UNIX_SVR2     swap    [EMAIL PROTECTED]  (256.0M)
/dev/hdd3     Apple_partition_map   Apple    [EMAIL PROTECTED] (31.5K)
/dev/hdd4      Apple_Free                Extra    [EMAIL PROTECTED] (0.5k)


... ok, I'm confused what would be the "first disk"  if not hdd1?

(I installed two years ago woody in a similar machine, and I remember that the
only time I succeded was when I replaced the IDE hard drive with a SCSI ... but 
now I
want to work around and use the just the IDE ... if possible ... and I want 
just debian on this machine no mixed use
with appleos).

So, I need help from you guys out there that are much smarter than me; please 
give me a hint/guide me 
on what to do.

Thanks for help!
