I didn't use the netinst iso. For the initial installation boot, I used BootX with the vmlinux and initrd from the "2.6" folder on the businesscard CD. When d-i asked which distribution I wanted to use (stable, testing, unstable) I took "testing", which was the default. When d-i asked which mirror I wanted to use, I took "ftp.debian.org". When d-i asked which kernel package I wanted to use, I chose 2.6.7-powerpc. That put a kernel and an initrd into /boot. I manually copied that kernel and initrd into the appropriate folders in the System folder in the MacOS-9 partition. Then I allowed d-i to reboot. This (of course) dropped me into MacOS-9 and BootX, which I then told to use the *new* vmlinux-2.6.7-powerpc and initrd.img-2.6.7-powerpc, which rebooted just fine and ran the rest of the installation. Hope that helps! Enjoy! Rick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
