The woody boot-floppies package doesn't use base2_2.tgz anymore. The
installation manual's been updated, see
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-powerpc/current/doc/inst
all.en.html
You will also need to reproduce the directory structure of the ftp site,
from current on down. So put the files you downloaded in
current/powermac/images-1.44, and also download drivers.tgz into the
powermac folder as it is on the mirror.
