Hi!
I also think that this problem should not serve as a reason for a delay
of Squeeze.
Yet, ideally an experienced PowerPC Debian developer should have a close
look at the Debian installer and related programs to find out why after
a Debian installation it is crucial to reboot with a Mac OS 9
installation CD and use it to update the HDD's driver another time, just
to still be able to use a Mac OS 9 already installed on a different disk
partition.
I even fear unexperienced users might be unable to rescue their Mac OS
data, be it by simply updating the HDD's driver or (as Debian supports
HFS file systems) by using Debian GNU/Linux.
If I write a few lines about this issue, is there a chance of getting
this into the PPC manual for installations of Debian on Power Macintosh
computers?
Last week Mr Wittau contacted me; he stated that he wanted to try the
installations again and that he intended to report back.
Kind regards,
