There's a tool on Debian called ofpath. It finds you the correct Openfirmware path to your bootstrap partition. As you can't boot into Debian (right?) I'd recommend your Debian install CD (changing to a console there with <ALT>-F{1,2,3,4?}) or some powerpc LIVE CD/DVD (Ubuntu?) to run this tool. *** 1: I'd run mac-fdisk first for the disk (dev/hda ?) where Debian is to be installed and type 'p'. This shows me the Apple_Bootstrap partition. *** 2: Now running "ofpath /dev/<name of the Bootstrap partition from step 1>" should find the Openfirmware path to the bootstrap partition Provided I didn't miss anything ... :) Best Regards Wolfgang -- http://heelsbroke.blogspot.com/ http://keyserver.mine.nu/pks/lookup?search=0xE3037113&fingerprint=on -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
