Re: installing Debian on an oldworld Mac.

vr> BootX / Kernel / RAM Disk installer ...
Yes, that works, up to where it searches for a *.iso.
The mini.iso is on the boot drive and also on the
target drive of the installation. Nevertheless the
installer complains "... did not find an installer
ISO image."
After a full search, the installer comments "... it
may be on a file system that could not be mounted."
With an CF-ATA adapter, containing a Compact
Flash card containing a FAT file system containing
the mini.iso, connected to the ATA-PCI adapter,
the system failed to pass the MacOS announcement.
The installer and the Installation Manual both
neglect to mention what file systems can mount.
So is this a bug? Is there any way to make the
mini.iso accessible to the installer? Otherwise
this seems a dead end.
Thanks, ... Peter Easthope
