Hi, i had better results now, after i got this hint on the MiNT-List:

it should be able to write single partition images to a predefined place
on a raw disk.

Markus, thanks! This was the key was the correct one!

I transfered m68k-base.e2z to my Falcon (FreeMinNT),
then did 'zcat m68k-base.e2z | dd of=debian.img'

Then i run HDDRUTIL.PRG and choose "Load image" from the
'Partition' Menu. I did not check the byteswap checkbox.

Now i can boot Debian, too.


Greetings,
Stefan
