hi *,

i installed debian on a number of powerpc macs but now i have
some serious problems on a PowerBook G3 - built year 2000. potato
kernels simply don't start, just lock bootx and the mac. i found a
yellowdog kernel that does boot but the install then stops at the
first screen of dinstall. apparently i can't proceed because the
keyboard doesn't work at all. no enter, no space, no way to go om.

any ideas? thanx,
federico
