You can also specify which partition number to use with the part=num option, so you may want to try adding part=10 to your options.

Try a command line similar to this: mount -t hfsplus -o 'part=10' /dev/hdc /mntpoint If you're adding it to /etc/fstab, one of the fields is for options. /dev/hdc/mntpoint hfsplus part=10 0 0 Substitute the desired device, mount point, and partition number as needed.

Re: New miboot-enabled d-i daily builds set up
Le mercredi 03 mai 2006 à 01:11 +0100, Colin Watson a écrit : Hi, I've set up miboot-enabled daily builds of d-i powerpc floppies, to go with my normal daily builds: http://people.debian.org/~cjwatson/d-i/powerpc-miboot/ Thanks to Sven Luther for the miboot package used to build these. Let me know if there are any problems; I haven't been able to test them myself. I checked it on a PowerMac G3 beige. Version 2006-05-14 didn't boot at all. Version 2006-05-13 boots, and it already gets pretty far, but it cannot detect any disk (I thing there is only one, connected to the embedded Symbios Logic 53c875). It tries to reset the SCSI bus several times, but gets anyway to the message rejection I/O to offline device about sda. I loaded the net-drivers[1] and it downloaded the required d-i modules through my Internet connection, so the network (including DHCP) is working fine. Also, how hard would it be to provide CDROM images? It's increasingly difficult to find working floppies nowadays. I have tons of broken ones, though. [1] I have a second NIC in the machine and both got detected fine. Cheers, -- Jérôme Warnier FLOSS Consultant http://beeznest.net
video card - old world mac question
I was reading through the installation instructions for PowerPC Debian and I saw that it basically said that it would work with any video card that XFree86 has support for. Is that also true for an old PCI Power Mac like my Performa 6400? Don't I need an Open Firmware-enabled card? What is the best video card anybody here has been able to get working in a machine that old? Will a Radeon 9200 Mac Edition work? Thanks for the help!

Re: Bug#367149: kbd-chooser: [powerpc] does not detect ADB keyboards

The current daily images now show the AT keymap list. I've tested this on Frank Lichtenheld's Powerbook G4 laptop, and all keys are mapped OK for the German keyboard. The only change from the USB-MAC keymaps is that the apple key no longer works as the modifier key. Instead these can be accessed using Fn-Alt, which can probably be explained as that is probably equivalent to the right-Alt key on regular AT keyboards on i386. AFAICT the options are: - should the AT keymaps be made to support the apple key as modifier key or - should we go back to using the USB-MAC keymaps for powerpc or - should powerpc users learn to use Fn-Alt instead of the apple key Going back to USB-MAC keymaps is possibly not the prefered option because as I understand it the input layer of the 2.6 kernel translates everything to AT, so in principle all architectures should now use AT keymaps. Advice and comments very welcome. Cheers, FJP P.S.

I personally use the Option key (or Apple as some might call it) as an AltGr key. The Fn+Alt is used for right click emulation while Fn+Option is for middle click. I need all of the keys as they are in order to be able to use diacritics and be able to use applications in a fast and confortable manner. So please keep this in mind when you decide what to do. P.S. Eddy: a test by you too would be very welcome, especially if you can do a full installation and check the full range of characters on the installed system. Ok, there is a partition on which I can do test installations; btw, two linux installations on a new world powerpc machine imposes a problem: all kernels should be placed on the same partition due to a limitation in yaboot. How does d-i deal with this when Debian is installed on a system on which there is already installed another linux system? -- Regards, EddyP = Imagination is more important than knowledge A.Einstein
