Is it possible, to boot d-i on this prep-machine? And if so, whichwould be the proper command?Ah, this is a PReP machine, very fine then. It won't naturally not boot yaboot, but you should try netbooting : http://people.debian.org/~luther/debian-installer/daily-powerpc-built/daily/powerpc/netboot/vmlinuz-prep.initrd Or even the 2.6 kernel when it will become available (tomorrow i think, but i can build you a special one) : http://people.debian.org/~luther/debian-installer/daily-powerpc-built/daily/powerpc/netboot/vmlinuz-prep.initrd
Still not working on my old Prep.I get stuck to "Now booting kernel..." with both cd and netboot vmlinuz-prep.initrd.
Is there a reason for it to display this on the serial console and not the following ?
For memory, my machine is a Bull Estrella 300 (Prep Utah PowerStack II Pro4000 to /proc/cpuinfo and has OpenFirmware).
