How to install Sarge on RS6000 7044p model 270
Hello,
I have been reading the manual to install Sarge on a powerpc but there
is no way this Machine Rs/6000 44P model 270 (CHRP) will boot from the
Sarge CD.
Well, in the sarge CD1 there is an install directory with yaboot in it.
I am also trying to run it from openfirmware but it is not working, dont
know if Im doing something wrong or what.
the command I use is "boot cd:,/install/yaboot" also tried to call the
linux kernel directly "boot cd:,/install/power3/vmlinux"
Any of you have recently installed sarge on a machine like this or
similar in which you couldnt boot directly form CD?
The manual also mention you can download the kernel image for this
architecture flavor (Power3) from
ftp://ftp.es.debian.org/debian-cd/current/powerpc/other/power3/cdrom/
and burn them in diskettes if you dont sucess with cd but those are also
as well in the cdrom and I can't really figure how to place those in
diskettes hence their size.
I'd trully apreciate some help.
Thanks in advance.
Ezra
