PowerPC Clone fails booting 2.6 d-i floppy
Testing today's d-i floppies from
http://people.debian.org/~luther/d-i/images/daily/powerpc/floppy/
Date: 20041018, 1200 EST
Result: boot.img began with frame buffer corrupting video after a few
seconds. Process froze. No serial console is available to provide kernel
messages.
Machine: PowerComputing PowerCenter Pro 210 604e
Top Comments:
I hope this helps get the floppies working for these boxen. Although it
seems BootX will always be with me, several steps are eliminated using
boot floppies.
If there's anything else I can do to help with this niche, please don't
hesitate to ask.

The following data was gathered on the same machine after installing
Woody from BootX and an iso-1 CD then dist-upgrading to sarge and rolling
a kernel.
