RE: Installing Debian on a RS/6000 Question
Shyama,
The Problem is that the server was installed with AIX, and I don't have the
root password, So I don't have actually access to the AIX system
PS: I wrote the lmail yesterday frm my wife's account :-) my mistake
In advance
Kurt

If it is booting into AIX you should be able to use pretty similar
commands to write the floppy. Something along the lines described in
4.3.1 of the sarge install manual
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/powerpc/ch04s03.html.en#id2517811
Apologies if I missed something obvious, it's been far too long since
I've used an AIX system, but I do not remember them being *that*
different (?).
Cheers!
Shyamal
