Hello!
i sucked the ppc-devel-tree to my hd, set up a NFS server for the downloaded
files and burned boot.iso from the dir "mac". The boot cd booted but it
found no network device.
all i know i took from the HOWTO at
http://www.bytebot.net/geekdocs/ibook/fedorappc.html
I couldn't by all efforts find more about this topic in the net...
If i burn the FC3 PPC development tree on an DVD, boot with a CD and select
"CD-ROM" as Installation method, anaconda tells me that it didn't find a FC
CD that fits to my boot CD. That's allready a bit more than i got with my
first try (DVD without ".disc-info", without "SRPMS" and named other
than
"FC-3 ppc"). There it said that it didn'T find a FC CD. my second DVD
should
be OK, the only dir that didn't fit onto the dvd was "debug" but i read in
the howto, that i don't need
it. so what's wrong?
I also tried to get help at another maillist:

I've seen anaconda happily load the sungem driver, then fail to notice
that there's now an eth0 and demand that you specify a network driver to
load. Helpfully it notices that sungem is already loaded though, so it
removes that from the list of options :)
That's what happens to me if i try to
install on the PowerMacG3 (350MHz),
but with the bmac driver. alt Alt+F4 it says:
<7> divert: allocating divert_blk for eth0
<6> eth0: BMAC+ at 00:05:02:61:a3:51
so i guess anaconda could load the driver. but it doesn't go further then.
It just keeps me asking to select a driver...
Does anybody have experience with this topic and could give me a hint? Or
can anybody tell me what to do or where it's documented how i can install
FC-3 on Macs? I have a PowerMac G3 (350MHz) and it's really important that i
install fedora there...
Thanks in advance
caio, nico.
