[powerpc] hd-media install, quik-installer



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Just a couple of quick observations on the powerpc port,

It looks like the quik-installer from sarge worked (I did a sarge
install as the basis for my development powerpc).  I'll do some digging
to see what's different.

The  2006-06-25 cdrom and hd-based installs for powerpc hang at the
MMU:exit step of booting the kernel when booted with BootX.  I'm not
sure when this broke; I was using the miBoot floppies for my tests, but
the previously working images were broken by the abi change, and no
working floppies have been created since.

The build process for the miBoot floppies is currently broken.

This means oldword powerpc macintosh is currently uninstallable, at
least on the machines I have access too.

now I have the rest of the afternoon to sniff fragrant tea-roses or 
strangle cute bunnies or something.   -- Michael Devore
