or is it boot-floppies ?

just to be sure, I did this:
dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1024 conv=sync ; sync
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=bootfd0.img bs=1024 conv=sync ; sync
diff -a boot.img bootfd0.img
And that floppy doesn't boot,too. So your boot.img is broken. So I'll file a
bug.
Another thing I found out: whith your (broken) boot-floppy the floppy disc
gets ejected. If the boot floppy boots ok, there is the prompt saying I
should insert the root disk, but I have to eject the boot disk by myself.

Since _this_ problem is fixed now, I don't have to do that anymore.

Uups? What packages not in d-i svn to you use ?

Hi,
I just checked the daily build boot.img (built on 2004-04-16)
http://people.debian.org/~luther/debian-installer/daily-powerpc-built/current/powerpc-small/floppy/
on my pmac4400/200 and it boots now and prompt for the root disk, great!
So I closed this bug.
regards,
Holger
