| 21:49.07 | pankid | hi |
| 21:53.06 | pahartik | Hello pankid again |
| 21:53.56 | pankid | so I found this http://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/powerpc/install.txt.en |
| 21:54.12 | pankid | and have been kind of following it, but it looks like I am about to be done without having to use bootstrap |
| 21:54.16 | pankid | is that automated now? |
| 21:57.18 | pankid | or should I be following this? http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/powerpc/apa.html.en |
| 21:57.41 | pahartik | pankid: One needs "Apple_Bootstrap" for "yaboot" or "grub-ieee1275" |
| 21:58.26 | pankid | I put a partition there, and the installer prompted me when I did not create that partition. I did not have to manually run the bootstrap script like that first install.txt indicated I would have to |

| 22:07.25 | pahartik | pankid: What appears to be problem again? |
| 22:09.12 | pankid | no problem. I am just scared because I did not have to manually run the bootstrap script like one of the manuals said I would. |
| 22:09.57 | pankid | the manual read like I was going to have to an arch style installation, but it was fairly automated |
| 22:13.39 | pahartik | pankid: I would make "Apple_Bootstrap" larger than described by document |
| 22:14.33 | pankid | ok |
| 22:14.42 | pankid | I am stuck at 'loading second stage bootstrap...' |
| 22:14.47 | pankid | after rebooting after installing debian |
| 22:15.49 | pankid | actually I am getting a malloc failed |
| 22:15.54 | pankid | ramdisk load failed |
| 22:16.09 | pankid | then it prompts me to either continue booting with mac-boot or shutdown |
| 22:16.34 | pahartik | pankid: From sector 64 to 2 MiB |
| 22:17.32 | pankid | should I keep the 32 mb partition that says apple? |
| 22:17.37 | pankid | it is at the beginning of the disk |

| 22:35.58 | peterrooney | pankid: it's 32 kB, and yes you keep it. the newworld boot partition needs to be _at_least_ 800 kB |
| 22:41.46 | pankid | peterrooney, thanks |
| 22:42.17 | pankid | I am trying my install again with just using the default guided partitioning |
| 22:42.59 | pankid | you have a tiny drive |
| 22:43.06 | pankid | im impressed |
| 22:46.01 | pankid | hmm |
| 22:46.03 | pankid | same thing |
| 22:46.09 | pankid | stuck at first stage debian boostrap |
| 22:48.30 | pankid | hmm |
| 22:49.01 | pankid | well time to leave work. I took a screen shot of your fsck so I can try again tomorrow. Thank you for your help peterrooney |
