Title: d-i fails on new PowerMac G5
Hello,

That's what I said that doesn't work. It puts me back into the graphical
boot menu.

d solve the
problem.
Thanks for the support so far. It's better than any pay-per-incident
contract! I might bother you with other questions on different threads.
Cheers,

For easier reference in the future I want to open a new thread on this
issue of my troubles installing Debian on a second hard drive.
Here are the symptoms:
1. No problem booting from CD.
2. No problem installing Debian on the second hard drive, sdb.
3. The installation process ejects the CD at t
Here is some information:

Well, some bad and some good news. Let's start with the bad ones:
1) I edited yaboot.conf to integrate the suggestions received so far
(thank you!). Here is how it reads now. For the purposes of this e-mail

boot=/dev/sdb2
** device=sd1:

I'm finally booting Linux by default, and out of the graphical/text boot
menu loop, and I can boot either Linux or OSX at will!
I think what makes the difference is the line "device=xxx" in
yaboot.conf. This is what I get from the d-i:
device=/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:
