Hi, I have an RS/6000 860 portable. I have debian ppc installed on it. The Debian PPC CD image was bootable for me, but the kernel wasnt correct and would bomb out. I tried to roll my own bootable CD with mkisofs, as a rockridge extensions, and a kernel image that works from floppy, as and El torito bootable CD. This cd is not bootable although mountable as ISO-9660. I was looking for some insight as to the format of the Debian PPC cd image and how it is bootable on my PReP machine, so I can make my own. I am currently sans floppy drive and would like to be able to test and compile kernels properly and the PReP boot isnt like LILO ;( ... Any help would be great. Ill have a floppy drive soon, but CD booting is much faster!
Thanks, Asher
