I see how this happened, the install manual points to the already-prepared prep/boot.bin, which is actually a prep kernel combined with a prep root.bin filesystem. How does your system work with a root.bin from the powermac folder? If you post a revised write up, I'll add it to the install manual. < snip > > I used the root.bin as stated from the Installation manual > section "11.2.3.1.3 TFTP boot images" from > debian/dists/woody/main/disks-powerpc/current/prep/images-1.44/root.bin > And I used the yaboot from > debian/dists/woody/main/disks-powerpc/current/new-powermac/yaboot < snip > -- Debian GNU/Linux Operating System By the People, For the People Chris Tillman (a people instance) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
