Hi guys,

I've been trying hard to get Linux on my PPC 7200/90 for ages but just
can't get it to work...

Spec:
Old world PPC 7200/90, 1G harddisk, 16RAM

I have bought Debian 2.2r3 for PPC. I made the installation boot disk
successfully and i can go through half of the installatin fine. But the
installation will NOT make the system bootable from hard disk or floppy.
I have tried quite a few different partition tables still no luck. I
could even execute shell commands and ping other machines on the LAN,
just cant get it to boot after reboot "the moment of truth".

If any of you guys have any PPC boot disk images, or knows how to
install debian on PPC 7200 please give me a hint, please !!

thanks a lot

Guy
