This machine has a SCSI Zip drive is on the apple "mesh" scsi controller. Before the "discover disks" phase, I had to go to the F2 console and manually "modprobe mesh" to get it to recognize the Zip disk. Because the mesh driver module was loaded behind d-i's back (so to speak), d-i didn't know about it, and as a result, "mesh" wasn't carried forward to /etc/modules after the reboot. (see note 3)
Many (most?) oldworld PowerMac's have the "mesh" scsi controller as their *only* (and in any case *primary*) mass-storage interface. Failure to load the mesh driver module will make it impossible for inexperienced users to install Debian on their machines. It seems to me that the mesh driver should be loaded by default on *all* oldworld PowerMac machines.
The problem is made more complicated because the "mesh" chip is on the motherboard, and so doesn't show up in the output of "lspci". This only strengthens the argument for loading the mesh driver by default.
Not necessarily. Does it show up in the mac-io bus? Send me a tarball of
/proc/device-tree if you aren't sure.
