Hi,
I don't know why it stopped working (did you accidentally zap the PRAM?)
But as a solution to the problem of wasting CD-R's, you can buy a CD-
RW and use it (I got a 5-pack and rotate thru them -- so I always have
4 backups)

Weird. If I dd the current iso's onto a stick I can't boot from
them. I
don't like wasting CD-R's. I did it a dozen times, so I know that it
normally works. The images I download now all suffer from the same
problem. I get an error when trying to boot:
boot usb0/d...@1:2,\\yaboot bad nodePtr can't OPEN usb0/d...@1:2,\

Fixing bug #572869: ofpath doesn't work in the absence of /proc/

I will need volunteer help to collect more information about SAS,
SATA
and SCSI hardware configurations on Power machines.
Please use recent beta or daily Debian powerpc install CD to boot
your
machine.
On a POWER or 64bit PowerPC machine type:
boot: install64 video=ofonly
On a headless machine type:
boot: install64 console=ttyS0,9600n8
on a G3/G4 machine type:
boot: install video=ofonly
Choose your language, location and keyboard. Let the installer load
additional installer components. On next screen choose <Go Back>. You
may need to repeat <Go Back> until 'Debian installer main menu'
shows up.
On 'Debian installer main menu' scroll down and choose "Execute a
shell."
When you get the shell prompt type:
mkdir /info
uname -a > /info/uname
cat /proc/cpuinfo > /info/cpuinfo
lspci -v > /info/lspci
tar cf /info/device-tree.tar /proc/device-tree
find /sys -name host\* -o -name ide\* > /info/hosts
find /sys -name proc_name -o -name devspec > /info/specs
cat `cat /info/specs` > /info/paths
ls -l /sys/class/block > /info/blocks
tar cf /info.tar /info
Mount a thumb drive, floppy disk, or a hard drive and save the
"info.tar" file while renaming it to reflect retail name of the
machine.
Examples:
mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt
cp /info.tar /mnt/Power520.info.tar
umount /mnt
or
mount -t ext3 /dev/sda3 /mnt
cp /info.tar /mnt/YDLPowerStation.info.tar
umount /mnt
Then type:
eject
halt
Finally, email the file back.
Thank you for your time and efforts,
Milan
