why don't you follow the instructions that come with debian? I'm not a mac
guy, I don't know what people on mac.linux-m68k.org write, but the debian
instructions have been written/improved by mac users.

the files are pc formatted? you mean the disk is pc formatted?
Get stuffit expander. It must be somewhere out there, if its not part of the
OS, how did anybody ever get it on his mac?
Or was it binhex?
A little google search gave me this page:

I guess you can find everything you need from there.
(and it would be nice if some mac user with a little time looked at the
install instructions and made it a little clearer? Especially wrt woody...)

AFAIK floppies are not (or not very well) supported on any m68k. Makeing
boot-floppies for your mac will not help. Why don't you use a CD-Rom?
