-Currently, the only &arch-title; subarchitectures that support CD-ROM
-booting are PReP and New World PowerMacs. On PowerMacs, hold the
-<keycap>c</keycap> key, or else the combination of
-<keycap>Command</keycap>, <keycap>Option</keycap>,
-<keycap>Shift</keycap>, and <keycap>Delete</keycap>
-keys together while booting to boot from the CD-ROM.

-OldWorld Powermacs will not boot a Debian CD, because OldWorld
-computers relied on a MacOSROM CD boot driver to be present on the CD,
-and a free-software version of this driver is not available. All
-OldWorld systems have floppy drives, so use the floppy drive to launch
-the installer, and then point the installer to the CD for the needed
-files.

-If your system doesn't boot directly from CD-ROM, you can still use
-the CD-ROM to install the system. On NewWorlds, you can also use an
-OpenFirmware command to boot from the CD-ROM manually. Follow the
-instructions in <xref linkend="boot-newworld"/> for booting from
-the hard disk, except use the path to <command>yaboot</command> on the
-CD at the OF prompt, such as
-
-<informalexample><screen>

-If you set up BootX in <xref linkend="files-oldworld"/>, you can
-use it to boot into the installation system. Double click the
-<guiicon>BootX</guiicon> application icon. Click on the
-<guibutton>Options</guibutton> button and select <guilabel>Use
-Specified RAM Disk</guilabel>. This will give you the
-chance to select the <filename>ramdisk.image.gz</filename> file. You
-may need to select the <guilabel>No Video Driver</guilabel> checkbox,
-depending on your hardware. Then click the
-<guibutton>Linux</guibutton> button to shut down MacOS and launch the
-installer.

-You will have already placed the <filename>linux.bin, yaboot,
-yaboot.conf</filename>, and <filename>root.bin</filename> files at the
-root level of your HFS partition in <xref linkend="files-newworld"/>.
-Restart the computer, and immediately (during the chime) hold down the
-<keycap>Option</keycap>, <keycap>Command (cloverleaf/Apple)</keycap>,
-<keycap>o</keycap>, and <keycap>f</keycap> keys all together. After
-a few seconds you will be presented with the Open Firmware prompt.
-At the prompt, type
-
-<informalexample><screen>
-
-0 > boot hd:<replaceable>x</replaceable>,yaboot
-
-</screen></informalexample>
-
-replacing <replaceable>x</replaceable> with the partition number of
-the HFS partition where the
-kernel and yaboot files were placed, followed by a &enterkey;. On some
-machines, you may need to use <userinput>ide0:</userinput> instead of
-<userinput>hd:</userinput>. In a few more seconds you will see a
-yaboot prompt
-
-<informalexample><screen>
-
-boot:
-
-</screen></informalexample>
-
-At yaboot's <prompt>boot:</prompt> prompt, type either
-<userinput>install</userinput> or <userinput>install-safe</userinput>
-followed by a &enterkey;. The `safe' option uses the
-<userinput>video=ofonly</userinput> argument for maximum
-compatibility; you can try it if <userinput>install</userinput>
-doesn't work. The Debian installation program should start.

-not supported for booting.

-For those not familiar with Macintosh
-floppy operations: a floppy placed in the machine prior to boot will
-be the first priority for the system to boot from. A floppy without a
-valid boot system will be ejected, and the machine will then check for
-bootable hard disk partitions.

-After booting, the <filename>root.bin</filename> floppy is
-requested. Insert the root floppy and press &enterkey;. The installer
-program is automatically launched after the root system has been

-Many older Apple monitors used a 640x480 67Hz mode. If your video
-appears skewed on an older Apple monitor, try appending the boot
-argument <userinput>video=atyfb:vmode:6</userinput> , which will
-select that mode for most Mach64 and Rage video hardware. For Rage 128
-hardware, this changes to
-<userinput>video=aty128fb:vmode:6</userinput> .
