Hi there, I am trying to install Debian 5.0.5 on a used MacMini G4. I have followed instructions from: http://sowerbutts.com/linux-mac-mini/
However I could not get the MacMini to boot onto the debian installer. I tried the: - 'C' holding approach (does not work at all) - 'Options' holding approach (Only the hard drive icon shows up) - 'Option'+'Command'+'o+'f' opens a terminal: Apple PowerMac10, 1 4.8.9f4 BootROM build on 03/23/05 at 14:22:23 ... 0 > boot cd:,\\tbxi DISK-LABEL: read block0 failed ATAPI-DISK: open of DISK-LABEL failed can't open: cd:,\\tbxi Can't open device or file 0 > eject cd: ok 0 > boot cd:,\\tbxi DISK-LABEL: read block0 failed ATAPI-DISK: open of DISK-LABEL failed can't open: cd:,\\tbxi Can't open device or file I tried the 'eject' approach as mentioned in the bugzilla bug number 162046... I have one cdrom burned from my debian/amd64 laptop and one cdrom burned from the MacMini, both fails as shown above. Both cdrom opens fine on my debian/amd64 laptop.
