For easier reference in the future I want to open a new thread on this issue of my troubles installing Debian on a second hard drive.
Here are the symptoms: 1. No problem booting from CD. 2. No problem installing Debian on the second hard drive, sdb. 3. The installation process ejects the CD at the very end and asks me to reboot the machine to continue with the installation. 4. The machine reboots right into OSX not giving me any chance to select Linux. 5. If I reboot with the "option" key pressed, I get a graphical boot menu with OSX and Linux as options to choose. 6. I choose Linux, and get a text boot menu with the following options: "l" for Linux, "x" for OSX, "c" for CD. 7. I enter "l" and what I get is the graphical menu again. This puts me back into step 6. No exit out of this loop. 8. Entering "x" in the previous step boots OSX well. Entering "c" boots from CD we. After swapping the hard drives, sda is now Linux and sdb is OSX, I have Debian running nicely now, X windows included. But I think I own to this list, and to Debian in general, a better effort to find the source of my original troubles installing the distro. So, I decided I will go back to the original situation, first SATA drive with OSX as shipped by Apple, second SATA drive with Linux. I will swap the hard drives again, and do the install process from scratch. I will provide the yaboot.config file as installed by the d-i and the partition tables of the two drives. Is there other information you would like me to gather for you? -- Pedro -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
