The initrd is not used on m68k, so don't worry about copying it onto the mac
OS side or giving it as a boot parameter. All necessary drivers are built
in, everything else can be loaded from the modules when you installed the
deb.

I don't know about the SCSI hardware in your mac, on a Q840AV, I use:
mac53c9x=1,0

ppc arch on an m68k mac?

If SCSI does not work, I doubt you can log in via slip. Most people suggest
that you install a full CPU, ie one with FPU.

Thats a different machine? A notebook? IIRC that was not supported very
well by the kernel.

I can't follow here. What compiling? What does OSX have to do with an m68k
