Oldworld Boot on a Beige G3revII - OpenFirmware 2.4 (266 mhz, ide cdrom+4gb wdc hd)
Hello list,
my experience with boot-floppies on the <see subject> machine:
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-powerpc/current/images/powerpc/
-- neither boot.img nor ofonlyboot.img boot, regardless of which
directory (floppy, floppy-2.4) they were taken from, work. Although
I've read the issues with unreliable boots from floppies, I doubt that
this is the problem, given that the below was realized with the same
floppy and no problems at all
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-powerpc/current/powermac/images-1.44/
-- whoever created the boot-floppy-hfs.img there - BIG THANKS, it was
working instantly, shove it in, linux boots =)
So long,
Christian
