	Hello,

	I have a 7248-100 43p running Debian 2.2r2. The only problem I
have found is that the Prep Rescue Boot Disk don't work with this
machine. There iss a little problem with the SCSI driver.

	Use the boot image at
http://www.stud.ifi.uio.no/~ingvarha/43p/images/carolina_bootimage_2.2.16pre1_with_fb
	Then use the normal Prep Root Disk, and go on with Dbootstrap.

	I found a lot of informations that helped me to complete this
install at:

http://users.linpro.no/ingvar/fag/43p/2000/43p.html

	It isn't specific to Debian, but there is where I found the boot
disk image mentioned above.
	This is another link more specific to Debian, it make the things
harder, but it works:

http://adequat.c2a.fr/linux/howtos/rs6000

	Right know I am stucked with two problems: I can't use the
'aboot' to boot the kernel and I can't compile a kernel that boot
directly. I have to use the carolina image mentioned above, but it is
2.2.16.

	See ya,
