You mean this one?
http://people.debian.org/~tg/f/m68k/20121227/vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-mac
I can't comment -- I never tried it.

Yes. I wouldn't really expect that to work.

Please post it. A photo is probably easiest if the interesting stuff has
not scrolled away. The best way to capture the entire log is to use a
serial console but you'd need the right cable and you'd need a second
computer with a serial port. (It isn't just the errors at the end that are
informative; the entire log is helpful in some cases.)

What sort of Mac are you using? Have you looked at
http://mac.linux-m68k.org/status/
For some time now I've been intending to build a recent, non-modular,
mac-only kernel for http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-mac68k/
If I send you a build, can you test it for me?
