Hi Steve,
Very kind of you to take the time to help me. Thank you for your suggestions. The thing is I am not a computer guy who understands what to do at some situations or what to write at the command prompt, and other things. I am not sure of what you meant. So, I have to ask you: You said: "use the Debian wheezy disc". Did you mean to use the CD with the very same iso file I used to download Debian in my computer? Could you confirm this to me, please? Then, you said to go into Rescue mode (type "rescue" at the CD's boot: prompt) Again, is this CD the same one with the iso file I used to download Debian in my computer? But then you said: you might be able to reinstall the bootloader (with an older version of GRUB2). From where? From the same iso file I used to download Debian in my computer? Or did you mean I would have to download something else from the Internet first? Thank you for your patience. Since you are sending a copy of this email to debian-powerpc@lists.debian.org shouls we wait to see what is their reply. Maybe they might have an easier solution. Would you let me know what is their answer to this problem. Please, please.
