A friend of mine just gave me an old Power Computing PowerWave 604|120 that he had lying around, and not being much of a mac person, I decided to throw debian on there as I haven't yet played with linux on a mac before. The installation went smoothly and was able to get it up no problem, upgraded the kernel to 2.4.18 and that went smooth as well, but I tried passing a boot parameter to the kernel by changing quik.conf around and now the thing won't boot.
When I turn the machine on now I get the mac "Daaaa" but nothing after that. No sad mac, no floppy icon with a question mark, no error messages from quik or the kernel, nothing. The monitor doesn't even come out of standby mode. I was hoping that I would just be able to boot from the debian installation floppies and change quik.conf back to normal, but the computer dosen't even seem to check the floppy dive for a bootable disk at startup. It won't even let me boot from the original mac os cdrom when pressing the "c" key at startup. Is there a way to make the system bootable again? As it may be obvious by now, my experience with macs is pretty limited so I'm sorry if there's just a common key sequence that just needs to be pressed at startup or something like that. (I did search this list's archive and google but I didn't come up with anything useful.) Thanks, Brent
