powerpc 20040724 businesscard

OldWorld PowerMac kernel-2.6

INSTALL REPORT

Debian-installer-version:
	sid_d-i/powerpc/20040724/sarge-powerpc-businesscard.iso


Comments/Problems:

The powerpc 2.6 kernel version of the d-i is missing drivers (modules
or built-in) for Mac floppy disks and SCSI CD-ROM drives.

Installing on a PowerMac/6500 with a TEAC SCSI CD-RW drive, I had to
use the 2.4 kernel because the 2.6 kernel couldn't find a driver for
the CD.

Installing on a beige G3 minitower, I couldn't write the log files to
a floppy, because there was no /dev/floppy (or /dev/fd*, or
whatever...) device.  The lack of a builtin driver or a module driver
is probably why every time the d-i scans for hardware, it asks to load
the floppy driver (and, according to the logs, fails to do so).

Done. Please note that everybody can actually do the same I'm doing
right now to close bugs.
