Bug#422836: Etch installer breaks MacOS - unbootable oldworld mac

[Ingo Schaefer <ingo@ingo-schaefer.de>]

Hello,

I can confirm this, too.

On a PowerMac 7600 I installed debian etch several times, always booting from
MacOS via BootX into netinstall CD. Partitions have been there created by MacOS
already, I changed layout between installs because of not knowing what the
problem is/was.


I finally got the solution: Something in the debian installation, most probably
mac-fdisk or partman breaks the Apple_Driver partition or the contents of it.

Booting from the MacOS CD and choosing "Update Driver" in the Drive Setup solved
the problem.

Regards,
Ingo
