I cannot install Potato on a 7600



Hello!

My problem is, that the debian potato boot disks cannot install on my
mac the distro. There are four disks, the boot disk, the driver-1 disk,
the rescue floppy and the root image disk. After i make these disks, and
reboot with the boot floppy, it asks for the root disk, then it starts
the installer, but cannot recognize my hard disk. I cannot partition my
HD. It asks for the IP configuration, and wants to install from an nfs
export on the network. This machine is at home, and i haven't got a
network there.
I have experience with debian only on i386 plattform, and i like it, and
use it every day at work.
I tried LinuxPPC 2000, it installs fine and runs fine, but i'm a
"little" confused about the red-hat style system. The linuxPPC can
recognize my hard disk, and i was able to partition and format it.

So, I _want_ debian. How can I install?

Configuration:
PM 7600/132
128MB RAM
Quantum Atlas V 9.1 GB HDD (with a wide-to narrow adapter)
