Not really. You can run Linux off one harddisk, put the swap partition on
the other, and put a small MacOS partition on that other as well. You
won't have lots of space, but it'll run.
If you want to use it for more than just "console-with-shell", you'll
need a bit more space though, although you could of course mount /usr over
NFS or such.

Indeed, so if you have any further questions, direct it to
debian-68k@lists.debian.org
