Debian on IIcx
I am trying to get Debian 2.1 to install on a standard Macintosh IIcx with
8MB RAM, FPU, 230MB HDD. But there seems to be some problem with the memory
mapping. What I have done is:
downloaded mac/Install.sit.hqx and common/base2_1.tgz to an external 80MB
SCSI disk.
Uncompressed Install.sit.hqx
Booted the computer with MacOS 7.6 Disk Tools-floppy with the external SCSI
disk connected.
Partitioned the 230MB HDD in 32MB AUX swap and the rest as AUX Root&Usr.
I then double-click on Penguin prefs to start the installation program and
tried the different system checks. Then everything seems to be OK.
But when I tell it to begin install it tells me that it can't map a portion
of logical memory to physical.
I have earlier installed OpenBSD 2.4 on the same computer and it worked. But
since I'm more familiar with Debian (at least on i386-platforms) I rather
use Debian.
I would bee very grateful if somebody could tell me what I'm doing wrong. Is
it impossible to install Debian on this type of machine?
