It seems the right name of the computer system
possibly is:
IBM RS/6000 43P model 7248-133
cpuinfo says
processor: 0
cpu: 604
clock: 114 MHz
revision: 3.4
bogomips: 239.70
[...]
machine: PReP IBM Carolina (6050/6070/7248)
Upgrade CPU
L2: not present
[...]
Since the clock is 114 MHz in cpuinfo
I'm trying to get this RS/6000 (see subject) to install debian powerpc
linux. I have gotten the bootp / tftp system setup but I have not been
able to locate a bootable kernel image to continue the installation.
Anyone know which image I should use or had any luck on this type of
system?
