Finally got images for PPC with matching MD5 sums, and now I'm confused
about booting. As suggested in various places,
openSUSE-11.1-Beta5-NET-ppc.iso won't boot on my G3 iMac. Nor will
openSUSE-11.1-Beta5.1-NET-ppc.iso - this was more of a surprise.

I checked the hardware with the 11.0 version, that boots fine but
install dies with the expected message about a locked storage subsystem.

I saw the extra directory "11.1B5_PPC_Hotfix" but (a) is this relevant
to my platform (neither Pegasos nor Efika) and (b) if so, how do I use
teh files?

I was so happy when I saw the image files and this is so frustrating...

Alternatively, is there a way of using the 11.0 boot media, maybe by
modbprobe-ing the relevant driver module?

PS - Beta5 looks generally good on i586, though I see the same problems
reported elsewhere
