PANIC: How to get that boot floppy out!
Hello debian-powerpc!
I am trying to help a friend to install debian on a Mac 6400. I have only previous experience with the i386 arch. I read in the archives about the problems with boot-floppies for potato, and downloaded the boot-floppy-hfs.img. Now, I was about to test the newly made boot-floppy on my colleagues computer in our office (No, it was not a nice thing to do!), she has an 6100. The floppy boots alright, with a nice pengiun in the middle, but when it is finished loading the kernel and waits for the root.bin (I assume), I don't know how to get it to eject the first disk so I can insert the root.bin disk. After some 10-15 sec. the screen becomes distorted, and I am lost. If I turn the machine off, I know that same proceudure is waiting for me whenever I turn it on again.
Please, tell me how to (by means of what keyboard combinations, or special buttons or whatever) get that floppy out of my colleagues' computer before she needs it again!
Thanks in advance.
Hans Ekbrand
