Package: Debian-Installer
Debian-installer-version:

sarge-powerpc-netinst.iso
Date: Tuesday 1 Feb 2005
Method: Run cdrom from boot
Machine: 20" iMac G5
Processor: PowerPC G5 (3.0) 1.8Ghz
Memory: 256 MB

Problem:
Debian Installer (nightly version 20050128 netinst.iso) does not
succeed in loading the cdrom drive so it cannot proceed further with
the installation.
To clarify: The cdrom boots an i choose "expert-power4" from the choice
of kernels prompt. Kernel loads. Debian installer loads. Prompts
for choosing keyboard, locale, etc., which work. Only option now left
is to load off the cdrom the next part of the installer, but it cant
detect the cdrom at all.
