The last step of installation (Make Linux Bootable Directly From Hard Disk) reports no errors, but asks no questions. After redooting debian don't want boot from HDD. > How can i make it boot from HDD? all that does is install quik, you still have to modify OpenFirmware to boot it. first you have to figure out what OF path your hard disk is, this is unfortunatly not a easy task on oldworld hardware (or for that matter newworld) on a 7200 its something like this: scsi/sd@0:0 where the first 0 is scsi id, and second is partition number (zero is used to boot quik) > HDD is Quantum Fireball lct 10 15 14324M. > PPC looks like 604e based with PCI (i don't know exactly cause it's 'noname' machine) scsi or IDE? once you know the OF path you need run this command in linux: nvsetenv boot-device scsi/sd@0:0 where scsi/sd@0:0 is your real OpenFirmware path for the hard disk in question. this really needs to be documented a bit better, the newworld/yaboot stuff is OK, but quik needs more up to date docs...
