Well, I cannot save the result but it says that my bootstrap partition
is ext2 but a mac-fdisk -l says it is an Apple_Bootstrap partition.
should you need more details I can write it down and type it, but it
seems that it cannot recognize my partition as Apple_Bootstrap but
ext2.
I'd like those details, please, yes.
NB. I downloaded the iso from :
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/powerpc/beta4/
sarge-powerpc-netinst.iso
If you created the partition with the partitioning UI in that release
at
any point, it's known to be broken.
In fact I cannot use only mac-fdisk because we cannot define the
mounting point so (I'm not sure) we must define them in the
partitioning UI.
