Re: Fw: Re: Re: Re: Re: 43p-150 booting Debian on chrp

Good morning,

	I have a few RS6000 systems up and running debian.  Here is how I have
done it, mind you  right now it is a little messy.  
1) Download the custom ISO image.  You can find it off my personal site:
http://www.walled.net/sparrow/sarge-power3-custom.iso .  I cannot recall
where I got this ISO, but it will boot a P43-150.  It does not contain
the required files for an install, but will get you to the install
screen. 
2) Download a PPC iso of debian from one of the debian sites. 
3) Boot the custom image
4) As soon as you land on the first install screen swap the custom cd
you downloaded and replace it with the standard cd. 
5) Install linux in your standard manner. 
6) Download the kernel source and create a custom kernel.  The one you
will end up with will be very old. 

	Hope this helps.  I know it was a pain to get going, but once you have
one system up you can create your own custom kernel and install CD for
debian.

hi

as a temporary workaround to your problem, i suggest you to create a 
boot floppy to boot your system from the HDD, like i did for my PReP 
7043/140.
