Thanks! It works! Used Gentoo documentation: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2004.3/handbook- ppc.xml?part=1&chap=4&style=printable#doc_chap3 Now that Debian is up and running, is there documentation somewhere explaining how to make yaboot offer options to boot OpenBSD and/or NetBSD? Also, is there any way to make Debian read OpenBSD's disklabel? Debian seem to just see one big OpenBSD partition and none of the subpartitions. Does that mean any partitions I want to share, e.g. swap, have to be partitioned with something other than OpenBSD? Oh, and is there anyway to escape X11 into a nice console? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Charset: UTF8 Version: Hush 3.0 Note: This signature can be verified at https://www.hushtools.com/verify wsBcBAEBAgAGBQJNwtM0AAoJEKlMTST7VF+ow5sH/jI9evZHqjc6K7XuCureJZ0tmwlt UALI7WE6VJiljEzW0NWb/98p+jeTJcmNFdvHQmr2yVNU1I0N6JqWn4caWXgJTsJcSvr0 kXuLPc09wq1pnlPvUj0da3oeIJlRlyveoGvQZJurkjg570OWDk5x1GLXCqH9mNhZmCpV vE1OFOQQXI/cvChLDClmzbv5uqZfpyllJNxs6ER5OKBbPKrv6dS6b0QpZTtOUVH8pYjh PsWorx6fiz7p2Hv5oC2IEXe7k8h8u+fgDBSPhu1SwBwzguzyHKm3Pwp6A9bEGAsCcrq2 Wx4MTggvNudlg4r0xsuenYS0cQRT1OrelxGCSR8Az3M= =dpmJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
