No problem. I'd be glad to share a path to victory should I discover it:).
Being new to debian, i have dozens of leads to follow and questions to
ask. So alot of reading to do. I'm following this as my best lead at the
moment:
http://www.ifh.ee.ethz.ch/~rharbers/rs6000/rs6000.html
With this I can boot. I am currently trying to partition the
disks. But still have some way to go in getting this right.
Later I hope to get one of the etch/beta cd's and try to net
boot it from a server. Then I'll see if i can get an install done
from one of these current dist's. If I can get it happening I'll
try and put a howto together and perhaps updates to the actual
install manual.
I'm going to bring the machine home today. That way I can
work on it over the Christmas break.
have fun.
