Re: Installing Debian on PowerPC 7200/120
Well? I just installed 2x 7600/132 debian linux routers? with 3x 3Com 3c905 in each? they run fine? but does not boot with quik, just leaves me with a black screen on boot. I?m using BootX to boot, running self compiled kernel 2.2.18 for ipchains, transparent proxy, syncookies and 3c59x module. partitions:
HFS(not +) 90MB running MacOS 9.1 core mountable in linux? nice for kernel export etc?
root 1.7GB
swap 2x installed RAM (I think it?s 128MB)
-------------------------
Yours Sincerely,
Gjermund Gusland Thorsen
