Re: Booting PPC/Nubus
boot-floppy-hfs.img is one of the set of installation disks, the lastest potato version can be found at the following: http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-powerpc/current/powermac/images-1.44/ The current CVS boot-floppies are woody and are not yet ready for primetime. In the long run you will probably want to create a subarchitecture for powerpc, the current ones include apus, prep, chrp, and pmac (power mac). You don't get boot-floppy-hfs.img until you've made it all the way through the build (make check; make release). It is an miboot-based floppy, so that's probably why it's crashing. miboot doesn't support nubus. In particular, look in powerpc-specials/miBoot/mkboot.sh to see how boot-floppy-hfs.img is built. miboot is from http://penguinppc.org/~benh/. Happy Trails! Stephen -- Stephen R.

Stephen Just the kind of message I was hoping for - thanks a lot. I'll play around with the source tree tomorrow and keep the list posted with arising problems ;) Fritz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
