It is better for you to install potato with your making bootable
install CDROM.
Download for powerpc files, and mkhybrid-1.1.2-60 or later on
Unix or Win32.
Put these files like this.
-----------------
(For El torito boot image) bootfull.bin
/debian
/debian/common/base2_2.tgz
/debian/prep/*
/debian/prep/disks-1.44/*
-----------------
and mkhybrid with PREP-BOOT option.
And burn the image on some CD-R burner.
Usage:
Set the CD-R and boot from this with,
pboot 0 (cdrom scsiID)
If cdrom have ID 3 of scsiID, then "pboot 0 30"
Best regards.
