Hi,
I had tons of trouble getting debian installed on my G5, but I
eventually got there and it works great. I made a webpage documenting
what I had to do. If you're having trouble getting the thing to boot,
maybe this will help:

Hi there,
There's a new build of Cinelerra for Debian PPC available at
garbure.org. If you want give it a whirl, follow the instructions on
http://cvs.cinelerra.org about where to point apt-get. I've tried
installing it on my G5 here and it's not really working for me
although the application lo
Hi again,
Success!
I readded the ofboot line to the yaboot as follows and changed it as follows:
ofboot=sd1:2
I also modified the device line of yaboot.conf to:
device=sd1:
Now everything works as it should and I am current finishing up the
Debian install.
Muchas gracias for everyone's help,

Hi everyone,
I've just now gotten back to my G5 to see if I could make some
progress. I've tried out everyone's suggestions and here's where I
stand:
I looked up the OpenFirmware aliases on my machine. The ones of
interest are as follows:
sata/ht/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/k2-sata-root

any thoughts?

Hi guys, thanks for the info. Here's what I've done:
--mount sdb3
--edit yaboot.conf
--chroot /mnt/sdb3 (where sdb3 is mounted)
--mount -t proc none /proc
--ybin -v
I also tried
--mount sdb3
--edit yaboot.conf
--chroot /mnt/sdb3 (where sdb3 is mounted)
--mount -t proc none /proc
--exit
--mount
You're right that I don't need to do the source thing. I do have a
question about "chroot /mnt/ur.sdb3.mnt.pt /usr/sbin/ybin" however.
By doing this command, will ybin now access the modified yaboot.conf
in sdb3? What is it that chroot is doing in this command? I realize
this is a basic questio

Hi everyone,
I tried to get Debian to boot from a 2nd HD on a G5 today but had no
luck. Here's what I did:
used Ubuntu live CD to get into tthe system:
--mounted sdb3 whre my /root lies
--edited /etc/yaboot.conf and made it look like this:
-
boot=/dev/sdb2
device=/[EMAIL PROTEC
Do you remember how you mounted the drive partitions?

I'm using a G5. I can get to the yaboot menu, but no further. To get
further, I have to edit yaboot.conf. Is there a way to access it from
the menu? Otherwise, are there any other techniques besides using a
live Ubuntu disc?
thanks,

I'm curious as to how it was done by someone else on this list back in
February. By what they wrote in the thread, they seemed to be able to
access the yaboot.conf from a shell obtained from the installer after
mounting the drive. I need to do the same thing on my system since I
installed debian
Right. That's what I gathered from the thread. What I don't know how
to do us access the config file and set the path. i.e. How do I mount
the partition?
thanks,

Hi,
I've installed debian on a second G5 disc and am trying to follow the
February thread about getting it to boot. I ran into exactly the same
situation as Pedro where I get a yaboot menu, type in 'l', and get the
graphical 'option' menu back.
In any case, my question regards mounting the parti
So, what are people using that have already installed Debian on the G5s?

Sorry to keep posting to the list like this, but I was wondering if
anyone had encountered a problem while installing debian from CD on a
g5 where their keyboard no longer worked. After yaboot loads and I

I was wondering what the possibilities were for installing debian for
