Hi,
are there any working boot-floppies for installing etch on oldworld
powerpcs? The daily boot.img-ones at
http://people.debian.org/~wouter/d-i/powerpc-miboot/
won't boot (they are simply spit out shortly after insertion). And some
of the root.img-s are too large for a floppy...

Hello,
as some of you may not remember, I posted a few times last year trying to
get the miboot floppies available at
people.debian.org/~wouterd-i/powerpc-miboot/.. to work. For those of you who
don't know, the floppies are used for installing debian on 'old world'
powerpc. T

Thanks Holger,
