Booted installation from MacOS-9.1 with BootX. Installed from netinst RC3 CD. used vmlinux and initrd.gz from the install/powerc/2.4 folder. Used DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium.

No longer available. It's currently running 2.6 -- Sorry! The relevant details are that it was three partitions: an HFS+ partition for MacOS-9.1, and a Linux root and swap. There was no boot partition -- not needed since I intended to use BootX, not quik as my boot loader. The root partition was ext3.

Note 1:
As noted above, I booted the installation kernel and initrd.gz from the install/powerc/2.4 folder on the RC3 netinst CD. 


Note 2:
When it came time to install the kernel, the only options are
	kernel-image-2.6.8-powerpc
	kernel-image-2.6.8-power4
	kernel-image-2.6.8-power3
	kernel-image-2.4.27-apus

Notable by it's absence was anything like kernel-image-2.4.27-powerpc.
Interestingly enough, there was a kernel-image-2.4.27-powerpc available when I used the RC3 businesscard CD to install this same machine.
I assume this is an oversight? I certainly hope it's not intentional to disallow us OldWorld Mac users from running a 2.4 kernel if we want to!

I don't think they are likely to be relevant. But if you need them, just ask.

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.
