fc4t1-ppc hdd iso inst

hi,

could anybody install fc4t1 via iso images on a mac (powerbook g4) ?

bootdevice = boot.iso cd
    FC4-test1-ppc-disk1.iso /images/mac/boot.iso
installsource = usb-stick with FC4-test1-ppc-disc1.iso

booting is ok,
sda1 is ok
anaconda tells me that there is no fc-cd-image :-(

cd install is not possible,
i can not eject boot.iso cd and switch to cd #1,
cd #1 is not bootable,

Yeah, I had thought I'd fixed that *sigh*

I've just proposed a patch for that.  I overlooked the unlink() when
first looking at.

Known, it was too large as a hybrid cd.

You can use a trusty eject tool (ie unbent paperclip) to eject and
change to CD1.

thanks, will i find here  the patched  boot.iso ?

the next problem could be that a minimal install fails via usb-stick 
because anaconda is looking for all 5 images.
sure, i have enough diskspace on my usb-stick   ;-)

you mean to press the unbent paperclip into the little whole until the 
cd eject ?
i doubt that this is possible with the powerbooks g4  or  macminis.
there is no little whole :-(

alt+ctrl+f2 has no console  :-(

Yes, because at that stage in the install, anaconda hasn't fired up the
other vt's to have anything useful for you

So while trusty paper clip will not work, your best options are boot.iso
and nfs install

Perhaps you hit this one :

yes  :-(
a regular nfs install (not iso) is ok.
