14 CDs? I hope that includes the source CDs?

So you did buy the binary-m68k CDs?

* Where are the install files on the CD?
Have a look in:
dists/woody/main/disks-m68k/current
There are no info files, so on Amiga you have to show all files, to find the
directories. Hopefully for the next version, everything will be in the
install directory again.
Note: my pleas for an updated version of the boot-floppies to fix this, and
other problems, have been ignored so far. Complain at the powers that be, ie
the debian-boot list.

Are you sure you have the right ramdisk and kernel? This looks different
than this:
# I am trying to install Debian on my Mac, but when I start the Penguin I get:
RAMDISK : Compressed image found at block 0
VFS : Mounted root (ext2 filesystem)
VFS : Cannot open root device 00:00
Kernel panic : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on 00:00
You forgot to add
root=/dev/ram
to the kernel boot options in Penguin.

Maybe you can give us a little more information, Penguin has some options to
produce more output, from the SCSI bus for example. The only thing I know
for sure is that the boot-floppies work very well on my Quadra840AV. I
installed MacOS 7.5.3 from scratch, copied the install files to the
harddisk, and got woody running with no problems. The installer booted with
the original 32MB, and it still works after I replaced that by 128MB. Maybe
you have a special quadra version, maybe finnish is not supported by linux
;-)
