| 01:42.26 | dclarke | help .. when I try to boot this EFIKA via netboot .. it refuses to work via the serial ttya port .. very odd. Is there some special trick to specifying console=ttyPSC0,9600 |
| 01:46.50 | dclarke | nevermind .. looks like I need a framebuffer |

| 22:56.27 | mirak | hi |
| 22:56.28 | mirak | is there a way to create a bootstrap partition from a x86 box ? |
| 23:21.55 | mirak | ok I build mac-fdisk on x86, the package failed but I got the binary at least |

| 23:39.33 | dclarke | anyone here ? |
| 23:39.57 | ojn | no |
| 23:40.32 | dclarke | I need to netboot a PPC machine but am having a tough time with getting the serial terminal to work |
| 23:40.41 | ojn | what kind of machine? |
| 23:41.07 | dclarke | EFIKA 5K2 Boot Strap [RELEASE BUILD] (c) 2002-2006 bplan GmbH (BUILD 20061101134833) |
| 23:41.17 | dclarke | one of them cute things |
| 23:41.30 | dclarke | cpu0: PowerPC,G2 CPUClock 396 Mhz BUSClock 132 Mhz (Version 0x8082,0x2014) |
| 23:41.35 | ojn | ah, can't help you there. |
| 23:41.42 | dclarke | oh .. crud |
| 23:41.49 | ojn | well, someone else might |
| 23:42.02 | dclarke | wouldn't it be the same as any other box with firmware ? |
| 23:42.10 | ojn | all boxes have firmware |
| 23:42.18 | dclarke | I know the command to fetch the iso image and then ... |
| 23:42.22 | ojn | I think it uses console=ttyPSC0, not ttyS0 |
| 23:42.32 | dclarke | yes .. that is what I use |
| 23:42.36 | ojn | ppczone.org's forums might be a good place |
| 23:42.37 | dclarke | hrmmm |
| 23:42.55 | dclarke | okay .. |
| 23:43.00 | dclarke | well .. wish me well |
| 23:43.11 | dclarke | I'm going to give it one more shot however |
| 23:43.20 | dclarke | now that I located the netboot image that is up to date |
| 23:43.31 | dclarke | see http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-powerpc/current/images/powerpc/netboot/ |
| 23:43.50 | dclarke | is that mini.iso the right thing to netboot ? |
| 23:44.31 | ojn | you shouldn't be booting the iso itself. there should be a kernel and ramdisk to boot |
| 23:44.53 | dclarke | this? http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-powerpc/current/images/powerpc/netboot/vmlinux |
| 23:45.30 | ojn | try http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-powerpc/current/images/powerpc/netboot/vmlinuz-chrp.initrd |
| 23:46.13 | dclarke | thank you .. |
| 23:46.29 | dclarke | I'll give that a fetch right now |
