What powerpc do you have in mind? The partitioning scheme differs
regarding the bootloader that you are using.
If you are using uBoot, then a simple partition scheme like the old PC
sch
this.
If you're not yet prepared to set up your own partitioning scheme, the defaults
the installer offers will work just fine.

What are the appropriate partitions for using Debian on a PowerPC? So far, my
