Hello everyone,

I'm trying to install tumbleweed ppc64 onto an old Mac G5 for a friend (completely replacing the old OS X on the machine).
The install (from a DVD-RW) actually went fine... but I can't boot into it.
All I see on boot is the finder icon alternating with a "?", like it can't find any boot partition or boot code.
The installer did create a "PowerPC PreP boot" partition on /dev/sda1, but somehow the ?BIOS? doesn't find it?

Do you have any hints as to what might be wrong, and/or how to debug this?

Thanks,
