Used netboot ramdisk to load d-i components, then load-iso to
install base from an iso sitting on the MacOS partition.
What did you boot off? native MacOS hard drive, Penguin
If network install, from where? private base+d-i
(everything should be in the archive now)

Comments/Problems:
My first full installation of a m68k mac running a 2.2.25 kernel.
I booted the mac into Mac OS.
I downloaded the netboot initrd, kernel, and dibase-m68k.iso from
<http://marenka.net/~stephen/d-i/> onto the mac's harddrive.
I booted d-i using Penguin-19 (the mac bootloader).
I installed the remaining d-i components, including load-iso, off the
net (again marenka.net).
I partitioned and formatted the linux partitions using partitioner
and partconf.
I then ran load-iso to mount the iso.
I then proceeded with base-installation.
Once that was done, I rebooted into MacOS and used Penguin to do a
boot back into linux with root=/dev/sda6 and started base-config.
It's all good.
