Bug#263157: debian-installer: Tries to install quik on RS/6000 PReP system
Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
Hi,
Subject says it all. This shouldn't happen, since the quik bootloader
is completely useless for PReP machines. What is more, the machine
rebooted directly after that, giving me no chance to drop into a shell
and make the system bootable by hand (which would have been a simple
matter of dd'ing the compressed kernel image to the PReP boot
partition).
I would suggest to be more conservative when it comes to figuring out
the correct bootloader, and offer the user access to a shell as a
fallback.
Regards, Jens.
