| 10:27.35 | teclo- | okay |
| 10:28.35 | teclo- | now I'm using the sarge installer |
| 10:28.37 | teclo- | with BootX |
| 10:28.46 | teclo- | I've put vmlinux.bin and the BootX extension |
| 10:29.32 | teclo- | and all of what is in hd-media in "Linux Kernels" |
| 10:30.16 | teclo- | and the installer hangs |
| 10:30.21 | teclo- | it says unable to mount root filesystem |
| 10:30.53 | teclo- | do I have to pass parameters or something ? |
| 10:31.43 | teclo- | or set a root device ? |
| 10:31.51 | teclo- | I'm trying to install so I don't have a root device yet heh |
| 10:32.01 | teclo- | here's what it says when it hangs: |
| 10:32.31 | teclo- | VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block(8,1) |
| 10:32.52 | teclo- | Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknownblock(8,1) |
| 10:33.04 | teclo- | Rebooting in 180 seconds... |

| 16:57.43 | teclo- | okay now I BootX I checked "use specified hard disk" and I put the following file in it: ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-powerpc/current/images/powerpc/hd-media/initrd.gz |
| 16:57.48 | teclo- | is that correct ? |
| 17:00.22 | teclo- | or do I have to use something else as "specified ram disk" ? |
| 17:00.31 | teclo- | would be nice if you fellows could give me some hints :) |

| 20:55.00 | Thaiger | How do I set settings such as boot on power cycle? |
| 20:55.08 | Thaiger | Things that would normally be bios settings |
| 20:56.38 | Bor_Ed | nvsetenv autoboot on |
| 20:57.10 | Bor_Ed | or was it true... can't be 100% sure |
| 20:57.45 | Bor_Ed | auto-boot? true |
| 21:05.21 | Thaiger | Thanks! |
| 21:05.33 | Thaiger | nvsetenv was exactly what I was looking for |
| 21:06.13 | Bor_Ed | that's yer 'bios' interface on ppc macs |
| 21:06.45 | Bor_Ed | can be accessed with alt+apple+o+f combo after 'boing' during boot too |
| 21:13.35 | Thaiger | Really? Didn't know that either, nvsetenv is what I was looking for since these machines are currently racked :) |
| 21:14.52 | Bor_Ed | well then |
