I looked up the installation manual on using BootX after first stage
installation, and it seems to suppose no initrd, which must fail AFAIK
on recent debian kernels.

http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-powerpc/current/doc/manual/en/ch07s01.html

Section 7.1.1:

"If you use BootX to boot into the installed system, just select your
desired kernel in the Linux Kernels folder, un-choose the ramdisk
option, and add a root device corresponding to your installation; e.g.
/dev/hda8."

Am I missing something here?
