Re: Install on a PowerMacintosh 7200/90

[Thomas Peri <ispleen@mac.com>]

Follow the instructions on the Debian web site for installation:

http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/powerpc/install
or
http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/powerpc/install

I've successfully installed Linux on a 7200/90 in the past, though it 
wasn't Debian.  Setting it up to boot without BootX was kind of a 
hassle, since the 7200's Open Firmware can only communicate with you 
through a serial cable (connected to another computer running a terminal 
emulator).  However, I wasn't using Quik, which is likely to make the 
whole thing a lot easier:
