Hi， As far as I know, there should be a step to find and download the yaboot.conf after download the yaboot binary. the finding rule is:
First with the name of the MAC address then the hex of ip address then minus half Byte of the ip address half byte ... last /etc/yaboot.conf you haven't mention the step, is there something in the log of tftp? 2015-05-27 13:51 GMT+08:00 Clark Wang <[email protected]>: > I'm trying to install Debian 8 on my iBook G4.
