I installed Debian jessie i386 rc1 on top of system c, replacing jessie i386
DI-2 i386 system.
After doing a option-poweron on the iMac, it still boots Debian wheezy system b.

P.S. -
I did this hardwired, because I'm not able to load the Broadcom b43
wifi firmware off a flash drive.
Before the DI-2 system was overwritten, I made a tar ball of
/lib/firmware/b43 and untarr'd it in
various directories on the flash drive.
Preparation under Debian i386 DI-2 system:
cd /lib/firmware
tar -cvf ~/b43.tar b43
cd /flashdrive
mkdir b43
tar -xvf ~/b43.tar
mv b43 b43-open
tar -xvf ~/b43.tar
When I booted the rc1 net install, it prompted for the firmware about 5
times.
That is the same firmware files 5 times in a row.
I told it to load the firmware off the flash drive, and it didn't find
it.
Either the bug still exists or I have some kind of preparation error.
