Installation Issues

Hello,

Trying to install etch for powerpc (powerbook). After partitioning the drive (scheme shown below) the installer issued the following alert:

"Partition map has no partition map entry!"

I'm used to pc install and this alert is new to me. Any tips as to what's going on? I googled the message and didn't come up with anything helpful.

Thanks,

ab

Partition Table:

/boot 221 MB
/swap 2 GB

/var 2.8 GB
/tmp 2 GB

1. Did you write the partition table? All sorts of warnings come up and you might have been scared and cancelled the write.
2. Search the net for comments on installing Debian to Apple PowerPC laptops.
