I tried installing jessie final on it.  The installer runs OK to completion but 
when it comes time to reboot into the installed system, I get “Loading second 
stage bootloader…” and a folder icon with a blinking “?” in the middle.

I tried booting from the DVD in “rescue” mode and installing the bootstrap 
again from the rescue menu.  No help…

The machine in question is a Power Mac dual core G5 similar to the one shown on 
this web page —
    
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g5/specs/powermac_g5_dual_2.0.html

Also, the installer seemed to have trouble getting an IPv4 dhcp address (though 
it does fine at getting an IPv6 address from the local router — so it looks 
like there’s no problem with the network hardware.)

I’ve had wheezy installed and running happily on this machine recently.

Any thoughts?

Rick
