You probably have no idea what a bloody mess this looks like in a proper news or mail client, otherwise you would set yours to post in plain text. > Whenever I try to instal Debian on my 68040 Amiga, I get to the endo of = > the installation where it asks if I want to enable it to boot from a har = > drive and when I acknowledge this it tells me, "Installing a boot loader = > is not yet possible for Debian/m68k" ..Whats up with this? What am I = > doin wrong? How can I get around this? As far as I know there is no native boot loader for linux on an amiga. You need to keep a bootable AmigaOS partition, and run amiboot from the S:Startup-Sequence to load the linux kernel and reboot into linux. My A2000 is in bits right now, otherwise I'd give you more detailed incantations. Have another look at the installation notes, I'm pretty certain the whole process is adequately described there.
