I can't boot from the HDD. Here is my problem !
boot into the installer again, switch to virtual console 2 (command
f2)
then run:
nvsetenv boot-device 'scsi/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0'
this assumes your scsi disk is ID 0, if its the regular apple one then
it is.
then mount your root filesytem and check the /etc/quik.conf:
mount -t ext2 /dev/sda5 /target
cat /target/etc/quik.conf
it should look something like this:
timeout=20
partition=5
image=/boot/vmlinux-2.2.19
label=linux
root=/dev/sda5
read-only
you can use ae to edit it if necessary. after that i think rerunning
quik would be a good idea:
mount -t proc proc /target/proc
chroot /target /sbin/quik -f
if it looks like it ran ok, then you can reboot:
umount /target
/sbin/reboot
you won't be able to see the quik prompt but you should boot into
debian.
this above configuration works on a friend's 7200.
