Hi Rolando, I'm also trying to get debian installer working on an OldWorld PowerMac.
See my comments below... Enjoy!

Boot in single user mode. (Add "single" to the boot parameters in BootX. It will come up in single user mode and --for some reason-- not demand a password.) You can set the password for root by typing "passwd root" and then reboot. It will come up in multi-user mode and you can log in as root using your new password. > is there a way to finish it?

Once you login as root, you may have to manually enter the commands that the installer would have done automatically after installing yaboot. I don't know, I haven't gotten that far yet. See the recent posting by Sven (and my reply). This issue may be fixed soon. Rick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
