Halp! Installing Ubuntu 8.10 Server edition to a powerbookg4 (ppc). After inserting and booting off the ISO I come to the stage where we detect my CDROM drive.

Detecting hardware to find cd drives

No common cd drive was detected

Manualy detect and mount [Y]

Module needed for accesing CD-ROM
None
cdrom

Now it askes me for a device file to be used

/dev/cdrom...

If i swich to a terminal and ls /dev it just comes up with a bunch of tty's and some usb stuff

How can it not detect my cd drive when im using it to install. What do I need to do here.

@avtolle Fantastic thx
You're very welcome. BTW, you might want to go to the Apple Users Forum (from where that link came) and post any other problems that arise there; it's the best place for us ppc users to get assistance. Good luck.
