Not builtin, but i am going to modify that now.
BTW, the SATA drive you mentioned previously are only used with the G5
powermac, right ? None of the earlier models have Serial ATA support ?

config/powerpc. Right. You could also look at
kernel-image-2.4.25-powerpc-pmac_2.4.25-4_powerpc.deb.

d-i, that is different. There is a special powerpc kernel-wedge package,
which transforms the kernel-image and kernel-modules i produce into
separate kernel and various modules .udebs, which in turn are used to
build the debian-installer kernel and initrd, and later also downloaded
from the net or cd.
