Installing issues with debian 10-m68k on a real Amiga 4000D
Been on the list lurking for some time, and have made a few posts in the
past.
Read John Paul Adrian Glaubitz's post from 20th July, and downloaded
the iso he listed.
(https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/10.0/m68k/iso-cd/)
My config:
Amiga 4000D, 2Mb chip, 4Mb Fast.
Warpengine 68040@40mhz with 128Mb Ram.
Cybervision64 with 4mb Ram.
IDE Harddrive's tested (80gb/160Gb).
IDE cdrom (I don't have any scsi drives)
Acer 19" LCD on the cybervision
C= 1084S on Amiga video
O/S 3.1, with asim cdrom driver.
Install issues:
Starting the install from cd, with startinstall_cv64 results in the
video not even going to the cybervision but to the 1084. Once it starts
doing things, results in the display not being in sync with the c=
screen. [See: http://vk3heg.net/amiga/img1.jpg &
http://vk3heg.net/amiga/img2.jpg]
Copying the intrid.gz, kernal & startinstall to the hd. Then modifying
the startinstall script to read:
amiboot -d -l vmlinux-4.16.0-1-m68k -r initrd.gz root=/dev/ram
ramdisk_size=1500 fb=false debian-installer/framebuffer=false
video=amifb:pal nolangchooser
Results in video going to the amiga's output on the C= 1084 and I can
see what's going on.
The install can't detect the cdrom, so I have to tell it it's
at /dev/hdb, and the install continues until the partition stage. when
I get this error:
"Device /dev/hda has multiple (0) logical sectors per physical
sector....."

I can choose ignore, but the system comes back to the same screen.
Choosing cancel goes to the install step list. Going to another
console screen (alt-f2), I can't even run fdisk to look at the drive.
Installing 3.1R8 on the same machine works like a dream, when
choosing the cv64 install and uncompressing the intrd/kernel files.
I have tested with both a 80gb & 160 Gb hd, installed 3.1 into a 500mb
partition, leaving the rest blank.
So guys what's your recommendations to move forward with this?
