Start here:

Although, you will have more luck I suspect with the new sarge installer
d-i rc2:

http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/

You need to copy the /vmlinux and /initrd files to your system folder as
per the BootX instructions.  You can then boot into the installer.
Before rebooting after the initial install you need to copy the
installed /vmlinux and /initrd files to the Mac side to complete the
install.

Googling this list with 
site:lists.debian.org g3 bootx

should produce some results that help

I haven't done this for a while (I gave the machine away with sarge
installed) but if you read the docs, it is fairly straightfoward.
