There is no (working) 2.4 kernel for mac. If you want to try a 2.6 kernel,
you could grab one from unstable, 2.6.16-9 has just been installed today. If
you can live with a slightly older one (no changes in m68k code), you can
get one here:
http://people.debian.org/~cts/debian-m68k/linux-image/
You also find a yaird package there, which you probably have to install,
even though the initrd is not used on m68k. There are probably other
packages that you have to install, before the linux-image can be installed,
but it should be doable from sarge. 2.6 is working fine on my Q840, your
Q700 might have different hardware, which could cause trouble. ADB keyboard
has been a problem for a while, but on an 840 it should be working. Please
also see here:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianM68kKernel
And report success/failure with the linux-images to this list.
