It turns out that for this drive, you need to pass the hard drive
geometry explicitly to the kernel. If you're booting from CD, restart
holding Command-Option-O-F, and type boot:cd,\\yaboot to get the boot:
prompt.
In this case the arguments were:
linux hda=16383,2,63 root=/dev/hda13
I just replaced the stock hard drive in my Power Mac Cube with a new
Seagate Barracuda IV 40 GB hard drive. This is an Ultra ATA 100 (UDMA)
drive that came out a few months ago. It works fine with Mac OS 9 and
X.
However, the Debian install CD (November 2000) doesn't recognize the
hard drive at al
