Somewhat, yes. But booting the supplied initrd-image on the netinst iso (or on a full CD set for that matter) over TFTP is my favourite install type if CD-ROM booting does not work or I have no CD-ROM ready or I'm too lazy ;-) I believe there are offical netboot images for PReP somewhere as well. >> > At >> > http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-powerpc/rc1/images/powerpc/netboot/ >> > is a initrd.gz and a vmlinux-initrd-chrp.gz. >> > >> > What about adding a "prep initrd"? >> >> I have no clue what you are asking. >> >> What Ulrich is doing, is netbooting the cdrom/vmlinux-initrd-chrp.gz and >> then do a >> cdrom install with it. Almost, but I'm using vmlinuz-prep.initrd on the PowerStack. >Euh, I'm also lost in all those PowerPC sub architectures ... >Seeing the chrp initrd being used on prep doesn't help neither.

Gee, I don't think so. I can't even boot other PReP boxes as my PowerStack with the PReP image, but I would be very happy if that would be possible, CU, Uli -- Dipl. Inf.
