I'm new to the list and I would like to give a try to the debian distrib. Where can I download the _latest_ base package set ? I tried making a filesystem with a base downloaded from an URL on this list recent archives (sorry, I don't remember which site it was) but after making an fstab, removing unconfigured.sh and adding the missing /dev/sda9 and booting in with kernel 2.1.129, I got an e2fsck error about file system inconsitencies.
I suggest you try the ramdisk image from <http://www.debian.org/%7Eespy/ramdisk.image.gz>, along with the base tarball from dists/sid/main/disks-powerpc/2.0.11.4_1998-10-15/base2_1.tgz with BootX (I can't thank you enough for that, BTW, when I used to boot with OF I would get an extremely flaky machine under Linux (something video related)). I have booted that image, but it is not very tested yet.
