Mac mini can't boot after install debian

[carilwang]

I removed the entire mac osx and install a debian i386 instead. After the installation, the debian cd eject and the computer reboot. I don't know why it only stay in the question mark folder?

I use entire disk for debian installation partition option. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong?

My mac mini is early 2006 version. I check the firmware is up to date.

Are you certain it's early 2006 and not late 2005? The earlier models had PowerPC processors, not Intel. Most of the Linux distros require X86 processors, i.e. Intel or AMD.

I look at the back, the cpu is intel core solo 1.5G, also, I followed those instructions and spend two hours on the installation already. But it doesn't seen to be working.
