Previously, with a modicum of difficulty (but eventual success), I installed Debian on a PPC-based Mac Mini. That machine has been long dead and I'm looking to get Deb off my cranky PC tower and onto my new, slim and sexy late-2010 Mac Mini. The i386 installer from the Debian web site fails on this newer hardware; I discovered the Debian wiki page - http://wiki.debian.org/MacMiniIntel - and I've been following that.So ... I downloaded the installed from that wiki site, successfully (I believe) installed the OS (confirmed latest firmware, reformatted MBR, chose the "-mac-mini" kernel, installed GRUB on MBR) but on reboot, I'm faced with the blinking folder icon. The wiki page states that it's normal to get
the blinking folder icon for a few (15) seconds, then GRUB should seize control and all would be right. Well - I've been staring at a blinking folder icon for the past half hour; GRUB ain't gonna do nuthin' at this point.
Anyone have a clue what I might try next?
Thanks!
