Re: Installing Debian on a PowerMac G5



Hi,
as an alternative to pressing the "c" key to boot for cd rom, you could try to press "Command,” “Option,” “O” and “F” keys simultaneously as the machine boots to access the Open Firmware interface.
at open firmware prompt type :

0 > boot cd:,\boot\grub\powerpc.elf
select normal install.

Regards,
rt1k.

OKay thank you. For now I can tell you the instructions at :


https://forum.powerprogress.org/d/15-debian-10-updated-installation-images-for-debian-ports-2019-11-22


DO NOT WORK.

AVOID that page.

The grub installer does not install and the machine will never boot to
grub. May as well go back a rev or two until I find a working installer
image.
