Data debian boot failed on IBM RS6000 7025 F80

Hi everybody.
I have an old IBM RS6000 Model 7025 F80 with AIX 4.3.3 installed with 2 primary scsi disks. I want to install linux (any flavor) on it. I downloaded and burned an iso image of debian (http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/...pc-netinst.iso), modified the first boot device config, booted from this cd and after some hours I hade a brand new perfect multi cpu 64 bit version of debian with linux 2.6.<something> Smilie. after booting the machine says it has no installed os on it. i tried installing on both disks and same thing: perfect installation, but no boot Smilie. I also tried different partition schemes. the last partition scheme i used wasone partition per fs and vlm enabled. I also upgraded the bios firmware to the last version from http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/firmware/gjsn and same results: perfect installation and no boot.
any help really appreciated Smilie
