Hi, here we are in two with similar machine a 43P-120, a 43P-100 and a 43P-140. More o less the same computer, only little differences on cpu clock and harddisks. I booted with Linux2000Q4 PPC, but no way with Mdk. I'm looking for any helps to start the installation procedure from another minimal shell (sh and a kernel 2.2 from linux2k). I suppose the installation script is into the ramdisk image on the cd, but I'm not able to find it and also I don't know the exact bootstrap sequence. I tried to tkae a look on i586 version cds, but unsuccefully. Ok this is not an help, but you are not alone.
