First, thanks to Eduard Bloch and Chris Tillman, for the tips. I had done some progress with this controller. The default bf2.4 flavour doesn't work with this controller, because the i2o and the scsi support are built-in on the kernel. Then I had to use my own kernel with these functions modularized.
I used the root image from Blade's page. http://people.debian.org/~blade/root1440bf2.4.bin This root filesystem, doesn't have the /dev/i2o tree, then i had to create it by hand with mknod again. Let's see what i did: 1st. Boot with the rescue disk with a custom kernel 2nd. Use the Blade's root disk 3rd. Configure the keyboard 4th. Create the /dev/i2o tree and its devices (/dev/i2o/hda and its partitions) 5th. Load the modules from a modules disk. The modules must be loaded in this order: scsi_mod, sd_mod, i2o_pci, i2o_core, i2o_block, and alternatively the NIC module (eepro100 in my case). 6th. Fdisk on /dev/i2o/hda 7th. mke2fs on /dev/i2o/hda1 and mkswap and swap on on /dev/i2o/hda2 8th. configure the network 9th. mount /dev/i2o/hda1 on /target 10th. Install kernel & driver modules from network (i don't know why, but it install a 2.2 flavour) 11st. Install the base system (yes, it install) 12nd. Make a boot floppy, the installer can't make the system bootable. 13rd. Reboot the system with the floppy. 14th. It fails, because can't find a root fs (i tried tell it with root=/dev/i2o/hda1 in the kernell command line) That's it. I don't get it running yet, but i think i'm almost there.
