Re: hfsprogs: Removal of sys/sysctl.h
Hi,
if nothing else helps:
What happens if you destroy the Apple Partition Map of the ISO before you
burn it to the CD.
cp debian-10.0.0-powerpc-NETINST-1.iso test.iso
dd if=/dev/zero conv=notrunc bs=2048 count=16 of=test.iso
... burn test.iso with SAO ...
This won't boot. But maybe it lures the Mac firmware into doing things
with the drive which then confuse Linux.
(Does Linux on powerpc have any special preference for HFS/HFS+ which
Linux on other systems has not ?)

Source studies:
Do i get it right that cdrom-detect is a part of Debian's installation
software ?
If so, where is the shell function or program
list-devices
which is used in
https://sources.debian.org/src/cdrom-detect/1.91/debian/cdrom-detect.postinst/
?
This shell script obviously emits the following messages:
[timestamp] cdrom-detect: Devices: '/dev/sr0'
[timestamp] cdrom-detect: CD-ROM mount failed: device=/dev/sr0 fstype=iso9660
[timestamp] cdrom-detect: CD-ROM mount failed: device=/dev/cdrom fstype=iso9660
[timestamp] cdrom-detect: CD-ROM mount failed; unmounting CD just to be sure
The origin of these is obscure:
[timestamp] (process:1560): mount: mounting /dev/sr0 on /cdrom faiked: No such device
[timestamp] (process:1560): mount: mounting /dev/cdrom on /cdrom failed: No such device
Whatever, it would be interesting to see what
ls -l /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom
has to say at that moment.
Further i do not understand why /dev/cdrom is tried but not listed in
the "Devices:" line.
The messages "(process:1560): mount:" seem not to come directly from
mount(8), because if i do on Debian 10 or on Debian 8
mount -t iso9660 -o ro,exec /dev/sr7 /mnt/iso
i get
mount: special device /dev/sr7 does not exist
rather than
mount: mounting /dev/sr0 on /cdrom faiked: No such device
So, not regarding the s/failed/faiked/ discrepancy, what kind of mount
program issued that message ?
Have a nice day :)
Thomas
