As to my knowlegde, you have to use

boot hd:2,\ofboot.b

because "ofboot.b" is the linux-bootloader of a new world powerpc  
(tested on mac mini with debian testing) and "\" is the correct sign  
for "/" on the open firmware level.

Please notice one point. You have to use the new world boot- 
partition, which is not "/" and not "/boot" of your debian- 
installation. If hd:2, is not your new world boot-partition, please  
change this path.
