Package: installation
Version: 3.0.23, dated 2002-07-18
For the installation on my new ibook - 12" 700mhz double USB with S video
I used the install24-safe command at bootup from installation cd.
All was fine until the system was restarted and it hanged.
The bug was found to be in the configuration in the yaboot.conf file.
Even though install24-safe was used, the yaboot.conf was not updated
to run vmlinux-2.4.18-newpmac instead of vmlinux.
So to get debian to boot on my ibook which had the linux partition on
hda11, I had to add/ change the following lines
image=hd:11, /boot/vmlinux-2.4.18-newpmac
append="video=ofonly"
The second line was added so that the display will work before the
package for the ATI video drivers are installed. This point was provided
by some other source, but I can't remember where.
I had to mount the yaboot.conf in the bootstrap partition manually and
correct the yaboot.conf there, as I was not able to run ybin from the
shell in the installation process.

I'm closing all bug reports filed on the boot-floppies since this
codebase has reached its end of life. boot-floppies is only in Debian
oldstable now (and temporarily in unstable because of bug #224469).
The new installer for sarge and beyond is of course, the
debian-installer. It solves a great many issues present in the
boot-floppies.
If you believe that your boot-floppies bug is still present in
debian-installer somehow, then please reopen the bug report and reassign
it there, or perhaps better, file a new bug report.
