I have a old powerpc and recently I have installed debian on it so there is no other OS other than debian. Now I want to install debian again but when I tried to boot it from hfs image floppy it always boot into debian. So no matter what I try it always boot into debain. So does anybody knows how can I boot the installer again so that I can install debian again.
You can either (a) press Cmd-Opt-P-R to reset the PRAM, which will cause the Mac ROM to kick in, and load miBoot on the floppy, or (b) press Cmd-Opt-O-F to drop into OpenFirmware, pop in the floppy, and do 'boot /AAPL,ROM', which will load the Mac ROM, which will load miBoot from the floppy (may need to hold F after pressing Enter at the OF prompt).
