Package: debian-installer
Version: 20070308
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
I was requested by Frans Pop to open a bug report for this when posting
the patch on debian-boot.
Below patch adds support to PA Semi's eval systems. Let me know if it's
preferred to provide this through the bug system instead.
Bug 463200 is open to request enablement of the platform code in the
generic powerpc64 kernel used on powerpc, that change together with this
will provide out-of-the box installation on these systems.
I'd love it if this got included in Lenny, so please let me know if
there's anything I can help to make this happen.
(Longer-term plans include improving firmware support enough to be able
to use yaboot. Until then, I've provided a simple note to the user on
how to boot the installed system).
I also added kernel selection support for power6-based powerpc systems
while I was touching that file. It's needed for IBM's new series p
machines.

+_Description: Setting firmware variables for automatic boot
+ Some variables need to be set in CFE in order for your system to boot
+ automatically. At the end of installation, the system will reboot. At the
+ firmware prompt, set the following variables to simplify booting:
+ .
+ setenv -p bootargs "${BOOTARGS}"
+ setenv -p boot_debian "ramdisk -max=20000000 ${INITRD} ; boot ${KERNFILE}"
+ .
+ You will only need to do this once. This enables you to just issue the command:
+ .
+ boot_debian
+ .
+ At the CFE prompt. If you prefer to auto-boot on every startup, in addition
+ to the above also do:
+ .
+ setenv -p STARTUP "$boot_debian"
