I know this must have happened to someone else, but after installing
Woody by way of floppies and cd as well as net install the following
happens: Powerbook 3400c - installing Woody Install smooth Reboot - not so smooth and will not boot from floppy Computer screen is black on black and very hard to read, but the message received is: Enter the kernel image name as [device:][partno][/path] where partno is a 0 - 16. Instead of /path you can type [mm:nn] to specify a range of disk blocks [512B] boot: (cursor here) ATTEMPT S to Boot /dev/fd:0/0:16 couldn't open /dev/fd0 /dev/hda:7/0:16 [note: hda7 is /] couldn't open /dev/hda and many others figuring out how to format the command. I'm a newbie. I researched a solution, but it requires me to place the machine in Openware mode in order to run an init command (which I hope someone can remind me of the format) to turn the backlighting on my screen at least. Another suggestion for viewing is to use a serial cable network from another terminal. I have hyperterm of course on Windows box. Even if I can read the screen it will still be a dilemma for me. Ctrl-Command-I/O to restart with CTRL-COMMAND-P-R to clear PRAM ineffective Conclusion : I'm seriously hosed. How can I get debian up and running on my Powerbook3400 and solve this problem? |
