Hello, I was wondering if there is any information out there about booting the potato floppies using open-firmware on a powermac?
I have a UMAX S900 (clone 9500 motherboard) and I would love to install debian linux on it. I am able to access the OF prompt through the serial port from my intel linux box, but I am not sure how to boot the "rescue" disk. I found the following in the "bootargs file" and it looks like it got close: 0 > setenv boot-device fd:0 ok 0 > setenv boot-file /linux load_ramdisk=1 root=/dev/ram video=keep ok 0 > boot unrecognized Client Program formatstate not valid ok There is not any info yet in the docs about how to do it. I was planning to do an NFS install of the base and then get the rest from the ftp sites, after booting from a floppy. Are there any other install methods that might work better with my system? Thanks, Gary. ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
