Bug#137717: boot-floppies: [powermac] unable to make system bootable on Beige G3

[Nils Kassube <nika@kassube.de>]

Package: boot-floppies
Version: N/A; reported 2002-03-10
Severity: normal

I'm trying to install Woody on my PowerMacintosh G3/300 MT
(Beige) with a single HD attached to the Apple 53c875 UW
SCSI host adapter. Everything works fine, the hard disk
is recognized and Woody is installed on the disk, except 
that the installer is unable to make the system bootable 
and complains:

--cut--
Unable to install Quik

The requested operation cannot be performed because
the OpenFirmware device name for the root disk could 
not be determined.
--cut--

I'm using the latest boot-floppies as of today, i.e. 3.0.19.
