Bug#268792: [m68k] [20040828, rc1(?)] [nativehd] Failure turned Success with Debian installer RC1 on Macintosh Quadra650)
Hi,
I retried the installation described in #268792, but this time manually
partitioned the disk as 1 big partition and with only 1 ext2 filesystem
(/dev/sdc2 for /, 500 Mb). Because there was no swap made on /dev/sdc*
the installer went looking for another swap partition and correctly
found the swap partition used by my Woody installation on another disk
(/dev/sdd4). The installation now proceeds past the 95% "Installing
extra packages" point, and has already given me the message that is has
completed successfully. At the moment is says "Finishing the ......"
("installation" probably, but because the text-box edges are still wrong
I don't know for sure). At this moment the system succesfully restarts.
(Actually is isn't restarting, it only says "Restarting system." but
this is a known kernel thingy, Mac seem to be hard to restart: differs
much from model to model).
HTH, Erik
