Debian 8.2.0 PowerPC installation problems
 

I have a powerpc (power mac G5) and installed Debian 8.2.0 onto a empty hard drive. the installation procedure went well, meaning without error. The installation was enacted using a downloaded installer .iso burned onto a CD.

I then boot the G5 with the only hard disc available containing the installed debian 8.2.0.
The boot proceeds as follows as indicated on the monitor:

First Stage Debian GNU/Linux Bootstrap

Press l for GNU/Linux,
c for CDROM.

Stage 1 Boot:
Loading second stage bootstrap...

This sequence repeats itself ad nauseous, with a blank screen in between.

Eventually, I just kill the power via the switch.

I have no idea what the problem is. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi.

At the blank screen what happens if you hit [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [F2]
