well for me it worked, and i just ordered a mac serial cable, but it will
only be here in 4 business days, aargh.

(ask you computer supplier for a catalog of cables and accessoires, it
should be in there)
it costed me 5 euro (approx 5 USD)

but i am still trying to boot debian, i tried loads of things, but got into
linux yet ...
