As the other poster mentioned, it boots from floppy if one is present. Your real problem may be trying to boot from a rescue.bin floppy instead of hfs-boot-floppy.img? I will add a short explanation in the manual that Mac floppy drives operate differently from the rest of the world. The floppy must be inserted in the drive before booting; and if the floppy is bootable it will use it. If not, it will eject it and search for a bootable system on the hard drive. -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual> | | debian-imac: <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | To Have, Give All to All (ACIM) | *----------------------------------------------------------------*
