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
*immediately* after boot up or only when it tries to load the X interface?
A couple of pages of text rolls by that seems to be the boot script and that completes. Then what seems like what should be a graphic interface come up. But it is "black". Maybe black isn't as right as no image. The lcd lamp is on. The X interface would be the GUI right? I can tell the computer doesn't shut down. It sounds like the drive(s) are still working- not much activity though. Like it's waiting for input from me. I've tried 5 different distro's and they all behave the same way. I'm downloading YellowDog right now in fact.
