I installed on no-vios p505 recently, and will soon do once i get the hang of the vios thingy. There is a copy of the yaboot.conf file in /etc, which is the one used on IBM hardware, please check that this is indeed the case. Also, notice that debian/sarge doesn't support this kind of hardware very well, and it is recomended you use the etch beta or daily builds, i myself used an etch daily build for the installation : http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/etch_di_beta3/powerpc/iso-cd/debian-testing-powerpc-netinst.iso Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
