it means you neglected to specify your root partition with

Excuse me: magazine for Linux PPC something like Visual Basic Journal, all

sounds like yet another victom of the broken paulus kernel .config
reconfigure your 2.4 kernel and under Filesystems turn DEVFS *OFF*
all of it every devfs option turn it off, not module, off.
then install that kernel and you will be fine.

hello all!
I've just subscribed and I feel bad that my first post is a cry for help.
Hopefully I'll be able to help others in the future.

Ah, I guess that explains the "unknown PHY" message I'm getting at boot

Remounting the partition using "mount / -o remount,rw" has allowed me
to work on files again. Changing the kernel makde no difference.
How do I get the drive correctly mounted during init as almost all
the scrips are failing. Editing fstab didnt help this.

Ok, good.

Were your other ones compiled with devfs, too? If you boot a kernel
without devfs,
Hello,

Where has it gone to?

Hello,
I just got my Ti PowerBook, and I'm trying to install Debian on it,
having no use for the proprietary software that came with it. I've
made a CD of the non-us 2.2r2 image using the pseudo-image kit and
cdrecord.
So, I get into OpenFirmware, and then I try using "boot cd:", but that
fails

hej,
I just want to report some problems I ran into - don't
know if it's the proper place here, but if not, I'm

I'm running Debian 2.2 for powerPC, having a customized
kernel (paulus, 2.2.17) and manually installed pmud-0.7-3.

the tibook's ethernet supports gigabit, and that PHY is too new for
the driver to understand. it would probably be a fairly simple fix
to add that to the driver.
