excuse stating the obvious, but this problem appeared at the same time
as enabling the new input layer in the kernel, could it not be that
the input layer

Hi,
I searched half the internet, I must have missed it. Sorry.
I tried a YDL kernel, and that worked, but I could not install over nfs
(no loopback devices were implemented).
The most compatible solution for me was to force the use of the Debian
installation kernel.
BTW: how can it be explaine

One thing I should have mentioned, is that this boot floppy is NOT appropriate
for doing installations with the 2.2r2 CDs because it uses the 2.2.17 kernel,
which is not what the CDs are configured for. It will work as a sort of a
rescue floppy in conjunction with the root file system floppy in
If you had checked the archives you would have seen that I posted a week or two
ago a link to a boot floppy that works. here it is again.

Hi,
I think I found something usefull regarding the original boot floppy for
the powermac. It locks your keyboard, so I did the following:
mount the disk
vi or edit .resource/System
find 'prompt_ramdisk=1'

look for:
/usr/src/linux/arch/ppc/coffboot/vmlinux.coff
it's been made by 'make zImage' iirc

Hi,
the past few days I have been trying to create a boot floppy for my
PowerMac 7300. Now that I have quik working, there is no need for me to
