imac g3 base system ok
Hello,
i have found out how to joke the installer, and use the usb key as
cdrom, so i can mount the fake cdrom and install debian.
I write here how i did in case someone is interested.
Always booted from ethernet with open firmware.
After this step i choosed start a shell,
then:
cd /dev/cdroms/
rm cdrom0
dd the debian businnescard iso to the /dev/sda on my x86 ( be sure, sda
is my key on my system, if you have a scsi hd you'll have terrible
problems... )
found out the position of the usb key on the mac ( /dev/scsi/something )
created a symlink with ln -s /dev/scsi/something /dev/cdroms/cdrom0
The installer started ;) after i choosed detect cdrom and start
installation.
After that i have been able to use an iso of netinst ( bigger than my
usb key ) mounted in /var/www ( for apache ) choosing the ip of my x86
and http as method.
Bye,
