Are you interested in beta testing a debian-installer image i just made ?
It may have a few problems still (in particular, i doubt the kernel will
install well), but i am actively working on getting this fixed, and it
will be solved in a matter of days.
Anyway, i would be very interested in you giving it a try, and reporting
back to me things that may not work.
If you are interested, please try the kernel i make available at :
http://people.debian.org/~luther/d-i.
There will be a prep, chrp and chrp-rs6k kernel there, and i think you
need the chrp-rs6k version.
Just move it to the disk or wherever, and boot it with the devfs=mount
kernel option.
Well, the kernels will be there in 5 minutes or so, once i finish
uploading them.
Friendly,
Sven Luther
