Hi,

I'm kind of getting desperate here..

I have a apple network server 500, and trying to
install linux on it.

        so... I've tried installer.coff dated to January and September
        and also some older installer.coff which I hapened to find,
        and none of them works. I've also tried vmlinux.coff and it
        doesn't work either. I've set load-base to 10000,
        I've booted it with boot fd:installer.coff root=/dev/ram
        and without that root parameter. And I DO have ftp'd those
        files in binary mode and used macos to copy it on a fresh
        disk. BUT every f... time I keep getting DEFAULT CATCH..

What the hell am I doing wrong?

ok I don't have the linuxppc 4.0 cd, yet...
but is THAT the thing I really need to get this up&running?

basic infos:

        ANS 500/132
        OF 1.1.22
        (formerly run on AIX)
        (Can I some how use that AIX to install linux..?)

        so pretty please.. HELP! ;)
