> OldWorlds can't boot from a Debian CD
Why not? The 1999 and 2000 LinuxPPC CDs were bootable on OldWorld and
NewWorld boxes. Jeff Carr personally futzed with my Lombard PowerBook to get
it to boot at MacWorld SF 2000. Can Debian repurpose their work? Is the boot
code on the CD not GPL?

I mentioned this on #debianppc IRC, but got little response.
I got woody working with quik on a 7300. The installer screen was split --
rotated 25% to the left. But I managed. Getting the ADB mouse recognized,
installing the 2.4 kernel package, getting XFree86 up, getting AsanteFAST
590 NICs recog
At last! Using the BootX method from a Mac OS 9 HFS partition, I've
installed woody with 2.4.18 on my 7300.
The installer was able to use my AsanteFAST 590 PCI NIC. But the installed
kernel doesn't work properly with it. Does anyone here know what module I
have to load to make the card work? (...
Pilot error. The 2.4.18 kernel supports this card. After some fun with
route, and figuring out which card is eth0, eth1, eth2 (always essential), I
have it running.
On to firewall configuration/translating my OpenBSD ipf/ipnat config files!

I'm trying to install woody on a PowerMac 6400 with an AsanteFAST 10/100
card, but having no luck. The NIC, which works fine in MacOS, isn't
recognized. The only driver that looks remotely suitable is the ng_tulip
driver (the Asante has a tulip chip, as I understand it). But that won't
install.

Tried the 3.0.21-2002-03-25 floppies. Still no luck. The 6400's PCI bus must
be strange territory for the kernel used on the floppies: neither the
PCI-attached ethernet card nor the USB card are mentioned in dmesg.
