Hi Marco,Sammy's humor aside, it would be helpful if you could describe the machine a bit more. I don't happen to remember what type of machine is a "1,6" (G4? G5? deskside or laptop? maybe one of the "mini" models or an iMac?) and you didn't tell us the number of MHz (a typo, I assume) though that is less important than the processor type in diagnosing your problem.
In any case, try booting the machine with the Alt key held down. You will probably get a screen with several options of bootable partitions. Is your Debian installation listed there? If so, click on it then click on the -> arrow. It should boot. The "alt-boot" process takes some considerable time (a minute or two) to poll all the possible boot devices -- be patient!
Hope this helps! Rick PS: Please reply to the list. We're all interested in how you make out!
