Debian-installer-version: Sarge RC1 20040806 netinstall CD (powerpc)
from http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/powerpc/rc1/sarge-powerpc-netinst.iso
uname -a: N/A, didn't get that far
Date: 20040810, 11pm CST
Method: Burned the iso, booted from CDROM

Machine: Apple Blue & White G3
Processor: 400 MHz
Memory: 384MB (1x128MB + 1x256MB)
Root Device: System contains 2 SCSI drives: /dev/sda is an IBM
DDRS-39130D (9GB SCSI); /dev/sdb is a Seagate ST39140W (9GB SCSI). 
Both are connected to the Apple-shipped Adaptec SCSI card.  I chose
the IBM as the root device.

Comments/Problems:

There were two problems here; the first is pretty minor but the second
is more significant.  The first issue was that the onboard network
card was not detected and I had to choose the BMAC driver from the
list myself.  Although I realize that not all cards will be
autodetected, it seems like this one should be since it was the
standard onboard card for the G3 series (at least the blue & whites).

The installer completed succesfully, but unfortunately wouldn't reboot
into Debian.  Since this machine doesn't have a serial port I could
not capture the output of the boot process in a serial console, so I
had to take a picture and type it all out (and I could only get the
last screen). From the combination of this output and the lspci, it
seems that the problem is related to the firewire module.  It's
possible that there are minor typos in this since I had to type it by
hand, so if you need something verified just ask - it's infinitely
reproducable:

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
  Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
  the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
  D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
  fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful


The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet. 

In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.

You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.

If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.

Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
