Re: Booting of PPC Installation on PowerPC/Mac impossible?
I used the latest boot floppies (2.2.15-2000-06-07) from potato
(boot-floppy-hfs.img and root.bin). I donwloaded drivers and base.tgz from the
net (worked perfectly, well I am not sure about sound, but at least network).
But the last steps failed (boot from harddisk, make a boot floppy).
Can anybody send me the man page of quik (I do not have an installed Debian
powerpc system) and quik.conf?
I've seen the example configuration at http://www.debian.de/Lists-Archives/debi
an-powerpc-0004/msg00030.html and it seems to be pretty similar to lilo. And I
think it is worth to try to run it from the second console.
I am wondering if there is an option to boot from the sda2 with the
boot-floppy-hfs.img? When I used it to install the system, a TUX came up, but
no option for kernel boot parameters like in the i386 rescue disc.
When I booted with the resue floppy (when macos was still installed), it was
simply ejected. So what is the purpose of the rescue floppy in the power mac
discs?
Thank you.
Rainer.
