Hi all!

Does anyone remember the CentOS 4.0 beta boot CD for PowerPC?

Yeah, i used to install it on a G4 recently ;-)

This is the only one type of boot CD that go to boot a Kernel on qemu (-system-ppc) with the Open(Hack'ware)Bios. (The Kernel itself hangs up then) Neither the Yellow Dog 6 DVD, nor Fedora 6 - 9 PPC edition, nor Ubuntu / Debian boots on Qemu ppc. So I wanted to adapt the running yaboot loader and configuration to boot the YDL 6 Kernel and initrd to install the stuff to make a mock build server for the el5 ppc Target.

I know z00dax is busy with the ppc/ppc64 build these days .. But when I (re-)create the .iso with mkisofs, Qemu does not

recognize the CD-Image as a boot CD.

how have you created the boot cd ? following this tuto ? http://penguinppc.org/ppc64/power-bootable-iso/

My Question: Does you (the creator of the 8.5 MB boot.iso) know, how you created the .iso Image? Which options did you have used? I did not have found any documentation how to create those CDs of that type (with a special Macintosh boot partition) that you have produced. Would you like to help me saying how to create qemu-system-ppc compatible boot discs ... ?

Thanks in advice,
