![]() ![]() I "use" (installed for the first time) Linux since 2017 but I'm far from being a power-user or expert, just trying to help others with what I know or can find. It's good practice and good manners to always refer to the sections, instructions that you used so others in the future can be helped by your experience (that's one of the reasons why forums exist). My primary language isn't English, so I had some difficulties trying to understand you by the lack of punctuation and proper separation. I can only assume what you wrote on the thread, so unless you made clear and describe accurately I can't know anything of you and your problem. When you have more confidence in yourself and the process, then make whatever you want with your hardware (that's the beauty of computing, right?) And have a full backup before doing an dual boot install process"īecause it's fairly easy even following the guides, YOU make a mistake and the rest of your drive it's gone/inaccessible/etc. "Have a dedicated HDD to install at the beginning or when you are new to this business.

So stick to the guide from this forum that's being made with lot's of love from everyone here. If you look on the wiki page of Debian PPC mention the 64le hardware requirements (on a sub-page) so it make clear that our Apple PPC won't work. I personally don't use Debian for many reasons that I already discussed in the past (feel free to search it), but the main "advantage" of Debian it's the stability that goes away with Sid variant, so that's a risk that you need to be aware and have the knowledge to fix in case of something goes wrong. PS: both sda and sdb are SSD and sdb1-3 are OSX Leopard partitions Noway of getting yaboot installed by chrooting /target as the installation is finished I created the /boot/grub partition as an HFS /dev/sdb4, and a root partition as an ext4 /dev/sdb6 as required from the installer (sdb5 is the swap). I also trying booting from usb getting the device byĢ) sid: downloaded and burnt the netinst image linked in this forum in the powerpc debian wiki (11.0.0), and it shows booting with alt starting correctly.
