A description of the incorrect behavior:
Expected a booted system
Got an error and "ok> " prompt
Suggested Fix - I've been to all the PPC sites for
Linux (non of them talk to debian releases!) There are
suggestions to remove some checking code and
recompiling the kernel, something to do with a 'strip'
command, and one for building a smaller kernel. Since
I used this distribution *because* it claimed 6360's
were supported, I expected it would work.
If it requires a separate development system to
build/rebuild/compile kernels, that needs to be
addressed with claims of compatability: "You need
a development server and experience compiling new
kernels to make this work with ..."
The kernel on the Boot-Floppy can boot the system
without exception. Only drives and a network card have
been configured as part of the base install. No
packages were specifically loaded.

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.
