Re: First boot after fresh install fails
Hi Patrick,
Which install method did you chose (cd, usb/live, net, etc.); and with which
verbosity level (if you don't know let's assume default)?
I am just trying to get a bit more information so that others here, or myself
can help you out a bit more.
It looks like the install is not so "faultless" and the partitioning and/or
root file system is all messed up.
If I understand you correctly, too, you are using the original Mac.
bootloaders and doing dual boot into separate disk/partitions--Many a man
(woman) would explain many advantages of scrapping that setup and going 100%
debian :-D
