beige a.k.a oldworld g3 && quik
hi,
I recently snapped up a beige g3 (233MHz,of2.0f1,160Mb Ram, no hd)
for 50EUR and found an unused 800Mb ide drive I try to install debian
(3.0.23) on. I read all the docs and archives I could find (hell I
even dug up my forth reference...) but
I can't get it to boot from the HD so I have a couple of questions:
(I should mention that I applied the of patches from apples sytem
disk)
is it possible to boot this machine using quik at all ?
(if not something less ambigous should be in the docs)
Does anyone on this list have this machine booting from internal
hd (/ide/disk@0:n) and is willing to share config & of settings ?
Is there a document describing how to make a hsf floppy on linux
to boot it with a rescue kernel (the hsf install disk won't let
me choose an alternate root file system) ?
Will netbsd work on this hardware (their site gives me the impression) ?
Why does the second partition on /dev/hda end up being /dev/hda3 ?
apparently I don't have a huge amount of hd space, so I'd like to avoid
keeping a copy of macos on it (which I don't own and I'd rather not have
in an OS only (ehem mostly) household) ...
regards,
x
