/dev may lack the correct device file. devtmpfs may help to figure this
out?
I don't have access to any 68k macs right now, so I can't be of much help
there sorry. You can find some discussion in the linux-m68k list archives
from the past few months.

fstab is fine. But once udev starts, you don't need devtmpfs, so I'm not
sure what the story is.

As you probably realise, the unpatched utility only handles Apple OEM
disks. There's a download link in the FAQ:

I've not really looked into the Debian 6 way of doing things. When I built
a system from Thorsten's packages using debootstrap, ISTR that I used
devtmpfs and didn't pursue it any further.

Here's some other resources that might suffice:
Mac-bootable Debian 3 and ~4 installer ISOs are available.
There exists a MacOS port of pdisk (Apple's command line partitioner).
SUntar runs under MacOS and can image (read/write) a raw partition.
What seems to be missing is Emile config tools for MacOS (ala XPostFacto),
since MacOS is the natural rescue option (it is free, easy, compatible and
dependable).
