I'm trying the new installer but with no success so far (already maild
to the debian-powerpc mailing list)
But I installed debian with the boot floppy from
http://www.solinno.co.uk/7043-140/files/2.4.19/zImage.prep-2.4.19
and the root-floppy from
http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-powerpc/current/prep/images-1.44/root.bin
and this started a debian stable installation.
I also booted the installation with the zImage.prep-2.4.19 floppy and
installed a new kernel kernel-image-2.4.18-powerpc
But can't get the machine to boot from disk
I have the following partitioning:
Disk Drive: /dev/sda

Heads: 64 Sectors per Track: 32 Cylinders: 8678

sda1 Boot Primary PPC PReP
Boot 2.10
sda2 Primary Linux swap

sda3 Primary Linux ext3
4095.74
Pri/Log Free Space

And tried to install the bootloader with
yabootconfig -r /dev/sda3 -b /dev/sda1
p43:~# yabootconfig -r /dev/sda3 -b /dev/sda1
yaboot is the Linux Loader for PowerPC. yabootconfig sets up your
system to boy
from your hard disk, without the need for a boot CD, floppy or a network
boot.
Install yaboot bootstrap on /dev/sda1 to boot Linux from /dev/sda3?
[Yes]
Creating a simple /etc/yaboot.conf...
Running mkofboot to make the disk bootable...
mkofboot: Warning: Incompatible version of `nvsetenv', nvram will not be
updated
Done
p43:~#
What's the problem with this error message?
Why isn't the system bootgin from disk? The following boot order is
configured:
floppy
cdrom
disk
network
Thanks
