Package: main-menu Version: debian-installer 4/28/2004 Severity: important On powerpc, the eject command is critical to be able to remove CDs from the computer. Many Macs are slot-based, there is no button on the front which will eject the CD.
In the system I tested, where an installation had already been completed using Sarge CD #1 built on 4/28/2004, I was unable to eject the CD which had been booted in order to try another CD. The eject command was not available in /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, or /usr/sbin in the ramdisk system. eject had been installed on the target hard disk, but was not usable. I tried /target/usr/bin/eject from console #2, and it said it couldn't unmount it. I tried unmounting it first, and it gave an ioctl error. I tried chrooting to /target, but then the cdrom mount point (ramdisk /cdrom) was inaccessible. I couldn't eject the disk from the console. This bug is written on main-menu, because boot-floppies had a main menu item which called eject, and I believe that would be an appropriate solution to this issue. By the way, the CD should be ejected by the installer before it reboots into the new system. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) -- Debian GNU/Linux Operating System By the People, For the People Chris Tillman (a people instance) toff one at cox dot net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
