Booting GNU/Linux...
I installed Debian v2.2 on my Performa 6360.
The CD-ROM installation was not possible, and I don't know why:
On the console, the directories appear wrong, like this:
".../2.2.23-0001-04-15/poeermac/images-1.44..."
^^^^ ^^^^^^^^
But on MacOS, directories names appear OK!
Because the problem above, I installed Debian with the files on a MacOS
(HFS) partition.
In the install manual, I saw this:
IMPORTANT: The ``Make Linux Bootable Directly From Hard Disk'' step
will install quik, however it will not make the necessary modification
to OpenFirmware's `boot-device' variable. This means that running
``Make Linux Bootable Directly From Hard Disk'' will not cause Debian
GNU/Linux to be booted when you reboot. To make Debian GNU/Linux boot
you need to select ``Execute a Shell'' and run:
nvsetenv `ofpath /dev/sda2`
where `/dev/sda2' is your root partition. Perform this step after
running ``Make Linux Bootable Directly From Hard Disk''.
The question is: How can I make the GNU/Linux partition bootable? I
don't need a boot manager because I don't need MacOS. I only need to
boot GNU/Linux.
