Re: Booting PPC/Nubus
boot-floppy-hfs.img is one of the set of installation disks, the lastest
potato version can be found at the following:
<http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-powerpc/current/powermac/images-1.44/>
The current CVS boot-floppies are woody and are not yet ready for
primetime. In the long run you will probably want to create a
subarchitecture for powerpc, the current ones include apus, prep,
chrp, and pmac (power mac).
You don't get boot-floppy-hfs.img until you've made it all the way through
the build (make check; make release). It is an miboot-based floppy, so
that's probably why it's crashing. miboot doesn't support nubus.
In particular, look in powerpc-specials/miBoot/mkboot.sh to see how
boot-floppy-hfs.img is built.
miboot is from <http://penguinppc.org/~benh/>.
Happy Trails!
