I don't know quite what you mean by `fix'. :-) Roughly:
* Download the tarball from ftp.jimpick.com:/pub/debian/arm/image/
* Find a spare partition and un-tar this, according to the
instructions (note: this is tricky if you want to replace an
existing/working Linux partition)
* Now boot with root=/dev/<that partition>
* Now `apt-get update', `apt-get upgrade' to upgrade to the latest
stuff
* You can install all the ARM .debs from ftp.debian.org now
* There is a list of errata with the tarball -- you'll probably
figure most of them out yourself -- do note that on a RiscPC
you have to remove the execute bit from /etc/rc.boot/hwclock
(or wherever that file is) to stop the RiscPC freezing on
shutdown
I hope to get working on hacking up an installer soon (or write
a guide for it, but I hate writing guides).
