Hi Everyone,
The RS/6000's came up recently in another thread. I have a couple of
them sitting in my basement. They are RS/6000 servers. They were used
as firewalls at a state agency back around the early 2000's. They have
network cards but no accessories, like a mouse or keyboard.

I am the proud owner of this ancient machine on which I am attempting to

This page doesn't have much relevant information on my problem,
instead it contains information about network and floppy booting.
Yesterday I tried booting the openSuSE 10 PPC port, and it looked
quite promising, yet sadly it too got stuck somewhere along the
booting process.
RS/6000 RS/600
There's a chance you might get Crux PPC to work but NetBSD/prep is
probably the most current of anything you'll find for your particular
system. If you want to continue with Linux, however, have a look at
these older documents:
http://www.solinno.co.uk/7043-140/getstarted.php
http://www.debian.org
Yesterday I tested the other floppy images (SuSE, Mandrake and Debian)
found on http://users.linpro.no/ingvar/43p/images but none of them
worked.
The SuSE and Mandrake images were the ones, that got the farthest in
the booting process:

AFAIK the Kernel version 2.6 doesn't support this box. There are
numerous patches that might work with versions up to 2.6.7, but I was
unlike booting with such a kernel.
My F40 runs on a - still patched - 2.4.22 kernel. You'll definetely

Hello
I have a RS/6000 7020 F50 system with 1 GB RAM and 10 x 9.1 GB HD with
3 604e CPUs.
Does someone know a working system with sarge or woody with my hardware
type?

It doesn't boot altough i set the bootlist to cd

possibly is:
IBM RS/6000 43P model 7248-133

machine: PReP IBM Carolina (6050/6070/7248)

Since the clock is 114 MHz in cpuinfo
