I forgot:

OK tried also floppies for woody. They didn't work.

I burned also the testing ISO (i think form 07.06.2005). I also couldn't
boot this CD.

Today i also made a firmware update of my RS/6000 7025 F50 System. Then i
tried to boot all CD and floppies (sarge and woody boot floppies). Still i
can't boot the CD or the floppies.

I didn't tried the HD boot, because i don't know exactly the syntax.

Now i am trying a netboot, so a am installing a bootp/dhcp server and a
tftpd (for this i use a intelbased debian testing server). Is that a way i
could go?

I would really appreciate getting some directions, for getting the right
boot method for booting the debian installer for installing sarge on my
7025 F50 System. I could also think over a woody installation (i tried the
woody boot floppies).

Thanks and hoping hearing form you soon.
