Newworld PowerPC install docs



Hi,

I have written some documentation to cover the specific issues of
installing on a Newworld PowerPC Mac.  this includes the necessity of
creating a small 800K partition with a partition type of
"Apple_Bootstrap" placed first on the disk.  it also covers how to use
ybin and mkofboot to make the system bootable from the disk.

I also wrote a quick tutorial on using mac-fdisk.  

I am looking for someone to assist in cleaning it up, clarification,
and adjustment to make things fit into the debian install docs.  I am
also not a debian developer and thus do not have CVS access.  

This documentation is essential to setup a newworld system that can be
made bootable, these machines are not compatible with quik, and not
very compatible with BootX. 

the docs are at http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/debian/

please CC replies as I am not subscribed to this list atm.

thanks in advance.
