Hi,
Thank you Yves for your kind answer.
Hardware: PowerBook G4 1?5, 15" Alu (Mid-2004)
Debian for ppc 3.1r0a (I used the boot CD #1, but I have also the file:
debian-31r0a-powerpc-binary-1.iso)
I tried to install Debian in an external FireWire Western Digital hard disk...
So it was formatted following Debian defaults.
And, before I take the time to backup and format my internal hard disk, someone
from this list told me that REALbasic 2006 for Linux does not works on PPC
computers, only on Intel computers)
Regards,
Emile

Hi Emile,
Did you repartition your disk ? Yaboot needs a special configuration in
order to boot and it can't be done on the normal partition scheme that
is left when you had OSX installed. See the info in fdisk and cfdisk
and yaboot for it.
I did it once and as far as I remember, you must start with an empty
partition table, then add the first sectors for yaboot, then add a
second root partition (small one) and then add the rest. After that,
yaboot works without any problems. Did this with Debian Sarge about 2
months ago.
