hi, I recently snapped up a beige g3 (233MHz,of2.0f1,160Mb Ram, no hd) for 50EUR and found an unused 800Mb ide drive I try to install debian (3.0.23) on. I read all the docs and archives I could find (hell I even dug up my forth reference...) but
I can't get it to boot from the HD so I have a couple of questions: (I should mention that I applied the of patches from apples sytem disk) is it possible to boot this machine using quik at all ? (if not something less ambigous should be in the docs) Does anyone on this list have this machine booting from internal hd (/ide/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:n) and is willing to share config & of settings ? Is there a document describing how to make a hsf floppy on linux to boot it with a rescue kernel (the hsf install disk won't let me choose an alternate root file system) ? Will netbsd work on this hardware (their site gives me the impression) ? Why does the second partition on /dev/hda end up being /dev/hda3 ? apparently I don't have a huge amount of hd space, so I'd like to avoid keeping a copy of macos on it (which I don't own and I'd rather not have in an OS only (ehem mostly) household) ... regards, x -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Postmodernism is german romanticism with better http://pilot.fm/ special effects.
