Just to check: wouldn't you have a MacOSX CD/DVD to boot from and check if everything is OK with the whole firewire stuff? A few days ago [1] it has been reported on the list that firewire was successfully used to install debian on a Mac mini. You could try that to see if openfirmware sees firewire disk correctly. http://lists.debian.org/4fdd55cc.7020...@physics.harvard.edu > Hot-plugging USB drives and DVDs works great -- it's just firewire > that's hosed. > > Any tips? > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
