Bug#137575: boot-floppies: [powerpc] mac-fdisk hangs
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 3.0.19
Severity: normal
Hi,
I'm installing on a powerpc G3 (Pismo, PowerBook). While partitioning
with mac-fdisk I got all the way down to writing the partition table and
then the system hung. That last thing I did before it hung is answer
'yes' to "Are you sure you want to do this?". Then it said something
like 'Successfully wrote partition table'. No response (I don't know
how to find the virtual consoles, alt, option etc. combinations didn't
yield anything.) for a few minutes. I power cycled and the partition
table had written fine so I continued with the install.
