Hello Carlos!
Have you also tried a different USB pen drive (USB stick) yet? Some USB 
devices use non-standard modes which may not be supported by Open Firmware.


Good luck,

usb I see (e. g. usb@1b,1), but no „ disk@x“ attached to this.
The LED of the USB key is burning, also in OF. In OS X, the key automatically 
pops up.
In devalias no „ud“ at all.

When you follow the old doc:

https://www.debian.org/releases/sarge/powerpc/ch05s01.html.en#usb-boot

Do you see anything containing 'usb' string in`dev / ls` (devalias)

-M

Hello Luke,

sadly, I don’t find the USB key.
If I type devalias, it doesn’t also appear „ud“

Does this mean, my PowerBook isn’t able to boot from USB?
Because somewhere I have read, if „ud“ doesn’t appear, no USB booting possible.

Is it a OpenFirmware „problem“?
It’s the latest 12“ PowerBook from 2005 …

Thanks in advance
Carlos

Re: Problems installing Jessie to Powerbook from USB Stick

Hello Richard,

I tried the following in the link you posted:

To do the same in OSX, do the following. First convert the .iso file to an .img 
file in OSX so that it can be written to a USB stick:

hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o ~/path/to/target.img 
~/path/to/source.iso

After I hit return, it appears the „target.img“, but after the operation is 
done, the „target.img“ is disappearing.

What have I done wrong?

Thanks in advance
Carlos

Re: Problems installing Jessie to Powerbook from USB Stick

Mathieu,

thanks for your help.
But sadly, I don’t find anything like:
/pci@f200
  /usb@18
/disk@1

The „disk“ connected to USB I don’t find. But the LED on the USB-Stick is 
burning.

Any ideas?
Karl

Hi Carlos, have you tried to write the complete OF boot path to the USB key?
Also on my PowerBook the shortcut wont run.
Bye.

Sorry about that, I meant:

The previous link was my first attempt. Burning the ISO directly seems
to work in a lot of cases.

I would like to install Debian from a USB-Stick, but sadly it fails.

First off, my system requirements:

Apple PowerBook G4 1.5GHz
Model Identifier: PowerBook6,8 (February 2005)
Model Number: A1104
Boot-ROM Version: 4.9.0f0
OS: MacOS X v10.4.11


These steps I have done so far:

1. Downloaded Debian 8.8.0 non-free Firmware edition from here: 
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/8.8.0+nonfree/powerpc/iso-cd/
2. I copied the ISO to USB-Stick with this command:

of=/dev/rdisk1 bs=1m

After I performed this command, I got:
308+1 records in
308+1 records out
323665920 bytes transferred in 27.002575 secs (11986484 bytes/sec)

And the stick appears in the Finder called „Debian/PowerPC_jessie (with lot of 
folders, e. g. install/yaboot)

The USB-Stick is shown in the disk utility as follows:
File system: MacOS standard (disk1s2)
Partition type: Apple_HFS (Apple partition scheme)

3. Booting the PowerBook in OpenFirmware
4. typed dev / ls and devalias

As described there:

But I don’t find the USB-Stick. I also tried this command: „boot ud:,\\:tbxi“

But only it appears a no stopping sign.  I also have tried a different Stick. 
The first one with 2GB, the second with 8GB.

Could maybe someone give me a advice, please?

Thanks in advance
