Getting debian 68k running on Mac IIsi
Hi All:
I'm trying to install onto a Mac IIsi and seem to have run into a wall.
After the installer gets to the base install part.....it seems to be
extracting everything, but after a while the screen just goes white and
nothing ever happens. No drive noise, nothing.
After forcing a restart, I tried changing the penguin prefs to boot off of
/dev/sda4, my root partition....and it gets to the point where it checks
partitions, then mounts it....but it mounts it read only. And hangs.
>From here, I'm not sure what to do next.
Here's a bit of info on my little system if it helps determine the problem....
Macintosh IIsi, Mac OS 7.01 installed
9Mb RAM
80Mb SCSI HD
/dev/sda0
/dev/sda1
/dev/sda2
/dev/sda3 MacOS HFS Partition 20Mb
/dev/sda4 Root Partition 40Mb
/dev/sda5 Swap Partition 20Mb
/dev/sda6 Free Space <2Mb
And some kind of funky Network Card that seems to work fine from the Mac side.
Also, I have a bigger drive (420Mb) on order and more RAM as well
(upgrading to 17Mb)
I'm not sure what's hanging the process, so any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks.
