Could you please try the kernel provided by the
kernel-image-2.4.22-powerpc-small package ? This one was particularly
tailored to work with miboot and fit on a floppy and be used by oldworld
pmac machines.
It has recently been tested on a pmac 8500 i think, but more tests and
fine tuning are needed to offer proper support for it in both the
upcoming sarge release, and debian-installer.
