Hello everyone,
I'm trying to install tumbleweed ppc64 onto an old Mac G5 for a friend (completely replacing the old OS X on the machine). The install (from a DVD-RW) actually went fine... but I can't boot into it. All I see on boot is the finder icon alternating with a "?", like it can't find any boot partition or boot code. The installer did create a "PowerPC PreP boot" partition on /dev/sda1, but somehow the ?BIOS? doesn't find it?
Please find a guide on installing bootloader on an Apple based ppc machine. The way firmware locates the binary to load is implementation-defined.
Heh, so both "RTFM" and "implement it yourself"? I was hoping for a slightly smaller time investment :-)
FTR the issue is reported here http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1079435 and you might even get some information on how to install in the bug report. HTH Michal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner@opensuse.org
