custom boot disks for PReP RS/6000's
Hello,
I have successfully installed debian "potato" on a
couple of RS/6000's model 7248 43P/100. I was having
problems booting to the PReP boot disks -- they would
hang when probing the scsi devices. To install I used
a custom kernel (2.2.18 patched for the carolina
motherboards and the e15 framebuffer); I then fed it
the ramdisk and installed over the net. I would like
to make some custom Debian install disks to make the
process easier in the future. I replaced the kernel
on the "rescue" disk and when I tried to give it a
drivers disk it complained that I needed the "drivers"
disk, not the "drivers14" disk. If someone could
point me to some good documentation on creating these
disks I would appreciate it.
Best regards,
Ben
