ġ- I have made the HDD APM and formed multiple partitions using gpart in FreeBSD (Live CD) Afterwards, when I booted using Debian or Ubuntu's Live Boot CD, the HDD is recognized merely as a Primary Disk Drive, i.e.
#Install linux on a mac mini powerpc install
Thank you for the reply and sorry for my very late post.įor the last several days, I have again started (to attempt) to install FreeBSD and Linux (Debian or Ubuntu) on Mac mini G4 (PowerPC, of course)ĭuring my attempts, I noticed the very basic problem (which is not well covered or documented in anywhere) seems to be Linux's inability to detect the partitions of a HDD which is partitioned by Apple Partition Map (APM). Is it 20Gb for Debian and 20GB for FreeBSD? It says "you must have 40GB harddisk" but it doesn't explain why. There are some ambiguities in the tutorial. On tutorial it is said that "All partitons dedicated to FreeBSD must be marked as do not use." In my case, all partitions were already dedicated to FreeBSD, leaving no space/partition for Debian to use. I have successfully done the first 2 (with the exception of FreeBSD I talked about) but got stuck on the final section: When trying to install Debian again, it looked like I was overwriting the disk space/partitions where FreeBSD was installed. and ends with "cd /home/$USER & umount cdrom" The goal is to use this machine as a general purpose computer in a classroom for high school students. The Mac Mini I’m rescuing is a mid-2011 with i5-2415M, 2GB RAM and 500GB HDD, running macOS High Sierra (version 10.13). I haven't applied the section which starts with "mkdir cdrom.cd & sh install.sh & cd. This post outlines the process of moving a Mac Mini (mid-2011) to Linux. I've applied every instruction on that tutorial except installing FreeBSD further than the minimal install i.e. To celebrate the release of Ubuntu 18.10, Krazy Ken rummages through his old CDs, and finds a PowerPC version of Ubuntu Linux 8.04.

I've seen this tutorial post which shows how to install both Debian and FreeBSD on PPC Macs: I want to install 2 OS'es on PowerPC Mac mini (with one harddisk)
