all from you:

iso: http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/d-i/m68k/cds/daily/debian-50-m68k-NETINST-1.iso
kernel: http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/d-i/m68k/images/daily/kernels/vmlinuz-2.6.25-2-mac
initrd: http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/d-i/m68k/images/daily/cdrom/initrd.gz

BTW, if you want to create a bootable CD-ROM yourself:

- download EMILE from the nightly build snapshot
  http://emile.sourceforge.net/SNAPSHOT/
- install it
- follow the manpage of emile-mkisofs(8)

Thank you,
