I will gladly do this as soon as I am able to boot into Debian. I
thought maybe I could do this from the installer after telling it to
load the bmac driver, but no such luck. The first command gave me "No
such file or directory" (also a "find /proc -name bmac" turns up
nothing).
As instructed, I added the pcilynx module to /etc/hotplug/blacklist
and "skip pcilynx" to /etc/discover.conf. Unfortunately, I was not
able to do this by booting "Linux emergency". Although it did
successfully boot up that way, my keyboard didn't work, so was unable
to do anything at all. My guess is that it doesn't load the USB
modules (which would be problematic since that is the only type of
keyboard that this machine can be used with...).
Keyboard details:
Standard USB keyboard shipped by Apple with the Blue & White G3 (not
the later Apple Pro Keyboard - this one is smaller), US layout,
connected directly to machine.
Since I couldn't edit the files that way, I just booted into my
YellowDog install and mounted the Debian root partition and edited
them that way.
Happily, the blacklisting of the pcilynx module allows the boot
process to progress beyond that point. Unfortunately it still doesn't
boot all the way without a kernel oops (appears to be USB related this
time). Again, this is hand-typed and may have mistakes so if
something doesn't look right and needs checked, just ask.
Thanks,
