From a previous discussion – attached below… Given that the error can be hunted down and corrected, what
is a person to do with a computer that apparently won’t boot from HDD,
floppy or CD? It seems I’m stuck here with a failed installation!

Perhaps you mis-typed it here in the mail, but boot-device should endwith 0:0 , not 0.0 . You can check after getting the error with printenv and looking at boot-device. I'm assuming this is an oldworld model? If you need to reset that, type setenv boot-device /pci/mac-io/ide@20000/ata-disk@0:0 You might also be able to shorten it with an alias, try devalias to seewhat it says. -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------*| <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> || debian-imac (potato): <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> || Chris Tillman tillman@voicetrak.com || May the Source be with you |*----------------------------------------------------------------* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-request@lists.debian.orgwith a subject of "unsubscribe".
