Hangs where ? Any error messages, or other information to enlighten us?

Right (substitute resc1440.bin and drv1440.bin for root and boot image, but
I guess that's what you meant). Make sure the file names are correct.
Make a note of the directory (folder) these files are in, as you need to
supply that information later. When installing kernel/modules/base system,
use the 'harddisk (not mounted)' option and specify the partition name of
your HFS partition. The menu option 'view partition table' should be helpful.
When prompted for the path to the Debian archive, enter the path to the
directory you put the install files in, starting with a leading /, and
use the 'select from a list of all archive files' option. Skip all
<path>/.resource/ and similar stuff and select /<path>/resc1440.bin (for
example).
There's a short readme together with the Mac install disk image, but you sure
read it already ... should explain more or less what I've just repeated, for
the umpteenth time.
