The only current way to boot on prep, is to use the netbooting capability, and powerpc/netboot/vmlinuz-prep.initrd from the daily or etch beta2 debian-installer images (www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer). I have seen it work on my motorola powerstack II, and also on a 43P-140 IBM box. I knoz some prep boxes have some kernel trouble, so YMMV. Please report bugs against debian-installer or linux-2.6 in case of failure. Ah, and partman-prep is hosed, so you may need to create the prep partition by hand and dd it to your prep partition yourself. It is best to use yaird over initramfs-tools in this case. Please share your experience here, and we will help you as best we can. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
