problem with iBook G4 933 Mz 40 GB HD installing debian
hello,
I am new in Mac but not in Gnu/Linux.
installing debian in iBook G4, I have been wasting time with one problem.
I describe my steps during installing:
i have make the partitition of HD with Disk utility.
first 32Gb for debian and second 5,2 Gb for OS X
I have installed OS X and then I have download and copy those files in Debian partitition:
root.bin, linux.bin, yaboot.conf and yaboot (the last version).
This is the output of my HD from one terminal in Mac with the df command:
Filesystem 512-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/disk0s5 10468272 4731264 5632328 46% /

/dev/disk1s1s2 1170720 1170720 0 100% /Volumes/Debian:PowerPC_woody
At Open Firmware boot, i type
boot: hd:3,yaboot and at the next boot prompt from yaboot, I have this message:
WARNING: Bootstrap partition type
is wrong: "Apple_HFS" type should be: "Apple_Bootstrap"
at this prompt I type:
boot: install-safe and the boot is going up
In the tty2 when i type mac-fdisk /dev/hda I give this output:
/dev/hda1 Apple_map (something so) 1k on dvd
/dev/hda2 CDROM.CD-RW,DVD 571 MB on dvd combo
this is my cdrom with debian for ppc
I have trying hdb, hdc, hde, hdd... but nothing
i have trying with this parameters at boot promt: install-safe /dev/hda: hda=noautotune but nothing again
can anybody help me?
Thank's
