If you wait around 3 or 4 minutes, it may go on. When you use that (Mac) method of booting, it searches for an Ethernet boot image. If you executed the Make Hard Disk Bootable step during the installation, and had created a bootstrap partition earlier, then you don't need to hold Alt. It should boot straight into linux. You can set up options on the boot menu for Mac OS or other systems (man yaboot.conf or see the yaboot HOWTO at penguinppc.org). > the disk is divided in: > > 20 GB OSX 10.2.1 > 800kb boot linux Does the bootstrap partition precede the OSX partition in the map? You may need to use the mac-fdisk r command to make it do so. > 512MB swap > 5GB root linux (/dev/hda12) > 10GB Home linux > rest a second OSX 10.2 -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual> | | debian-imac: <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | To Have, Give All to All (ACIM) | *----------------------------------------------------------------*
