Hi, My iMac's[1] cd driver is very selective these now-a-days. It only allows me to boot from original apple distributed media. So I was kind of push to netbooting.
It all went great when I installed form lenny repository[2] booting was successful (using this[3] and then disabling firewall). But using the very same set of instructions with the files from sid repository[4] (I believe they are the same ones from the squeeze repository) it didn't even boot! Something about "Can't read Elf e_ident/e_type/e_machine info". Googling around I found[5] that the same files work OK if you boot from the hd. Should I be doing something differently? I will try the daily images[6] to see if whatever it was wrong is fixed. cheers, [1] http://support.apple.com/kb/SP131 [2] http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-powerpc/current/images/powerpc/netboot/ [3] http://wiki.ppckernel.org/w/Mac_Netboot [4] http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/installer-powerpc/current/images/powerpc/netboot/ [5] http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=45220 [6] http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/powerpc/daily/powerpc/netboot/ -- "...agora, só nos sobrou o futuro...", visto em www.manuchao.net Gunther Furtado Curitiba - Paraná - Brasil gunfurt...@gmail.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
