Hi, everybody,
I want to install debian on my ibook G4.
(Hardware: ibook G4, 512M DDR-RAM, 30G Fujitsu-MHT2030AT,
CD:@f2000000, ATA-3
HD:@f4000000, ATA-6)
So, I followed en Français's popular instruction -- "Installing Debian
3.0 onto an Apple iBook", I chosed Debain + MacOsX solution.
yaboot from: http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-powerpc/current/new-powermac/(version:
1.3.6 seems old)
yaboot.conf:
image=/linux.bin
label=install
initrd=/root.bin
initrd-size=8192
append="disksize=2.88"
image=/linux.bin
label=install-safe
initrd=/root.bin
initrd-size=8192
append="disksize=2.88 video=ofonly"
put them(linux.bin, boot, yaboot.conf, root.bin) on the HD's first
partition(named debian).
(My HD's partition table under MacOsX:
/dev/disk0s3: /volume/debian "MacOS Extended" (HFS+)
/dev/disk0s5: / "MacOS Extended" (HFS+) )
enter Openfirmware
o> boot hd:3,yaboot
got the warning message: first boot partition is: "Apple_HFS"
should be: "Apple_Bootstrap"
then got the boot prompt:
boot:>
whatever I chose "install" or "install-safe"
Yaboot could boot my ibook without load hard disk.
instead, the system recognise the CD-ROM as /dev/hda
Could anybody help me?
Sincerely thanks to you all.
BTW: I have try CD:"debian-30r2-powerpc-binary-1"
o>boot cd:,\install\powermac\yaboot
boot:>install24-safe
also can boot system. but got the same problem(Can't find hard disk).
with my best regards,
klarke
