Package: installation-reports
Debian-installer-version: 14 Dec 2004 http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/powerpc/rc2/sarge-powerpc-netinst.iso

Method: Created boot kernel by combining /install/powerpc/2.4/initrd.gz from CD with kernel compiled from
bk://nubus-pmac.bkbits.net/linuxppc-2.4-nubus. Used MkLinux booter to boot this kernel and used the above
CD in an externally attached SCSI CD drive. Used debconf/priority=low command line parameter as first
attempt with default was unsuccessful.

Comments/Problems:
Loading the installer modules complains about not finding kernel modules, but message seems
harmless as I'm using a monolithic kernel.
Partitioning gives message about not having information about the default type of partition table
for this architecture, but otherwise works just fine.
Unable to install boot loader which is no surprise considering the installer would need to know
to mount the HFS partition and copy the kernel as 'Mach Kernel' into the MacOs System Folder Extensions.
I did this manually after rebooting into MacOS.
I now have added incentive to fix the driver for my wireless card!!!
