The problem is that the original CHRP boot disk for potato is ext2
instead of FAT, and OF can't load the kernel. Even after manually
extracting the kernel it does not boot on a B50, I th

I see the boot disk is ext2, and AFAIK openfirmware can only read FAT

It needs to be a FAT disk with a kernel copied over it. No other files
are needed.

The new release of tcp-wrappers I uploaded yesterday to experimental,
on my ppc system running woody randomly segfaults about one in ten times
before main() is started.
I know it happens before main() because I tried to add a open(2) call as
the first statement of main() and no file is created.

It's not really hard to install suse, install debian in a chroot and
