Hi,
Sorry for the late reply, I didn't have access to my zx6000 workstation
until now.
Just to let you know that I've successfully installed Wheezy using the
netinst CD on a spare HDD, using default parameters (using entire HDD and
one single partition as partition scheme) except for localization of course.
One manual intervention was nevertheless required. During the installation
process, the ELILO boot loader installation failed with /usr/sbin/elilo
returning error code 1. I've chosen to continue without installing a boot
loader and restarted my workstation using the netinst CD in rescue mode to
check what was going on. It finally appears that the default /etc/fstab
generated during Wheezy installation encompasses an incorrect entry (well,
to me, it is incorrect) mounting /dev/sd?1 (/dev/sdb1 in my case) to
/boot/efi. I've simply removed this entry, deleted the /boot/efi empty
folder created during Wheezy installation and rerun elilo -v to correctly
reinstall ELILO and then elilo --efiboot to create the GNU/Debian entry in
EFI.
Everything else ran fine.
Thanks to all who contributed to make Wheezy on ia64 a reality.
