Comments/Problems:
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
All the installation from Debian/PowerPC_Etch net-inst seemed to work fine
over my ethernet connection to cable modem. I installed to separate HDD for Etch only.
Re-partition proceded ok. However on reboot I never get a video interface.
The video terminal goes black after boot up. The system seems to remain live, just no video signal.
I have my monitor on the analog connector to the video card.

-bash: lspci: command not found
stephen-dills-power-mac-g5:~ sdill$ lspci -vnn
-bash: lspci: command not found
I chose the "typical" partition format since I don't have the skill set to make any different decision.
I was taking notes on my install and I'm fairly certain my download file was located at: http://saimei.acc.umu.se.
MD5 as correct, (/Users/sdill/Desktop/Internet Download/debian-40r0-powerpc-netinst.iso) = 15fd2132871e7be159efaf54871968f0
