Newbie ibook sarge install

Re-posted from debian-powerpc since I'm told that this is a better list for 
it.

First, hello. I'm new to Apple hardware, newish to debian and moderately 
competent with Linux. I'm not feeling very competent atm however.

The system is an ibook 900Mhz. I am trying to install Debian testing as the 
only OS using the boot CD and a network install.

i have two problems. They are as follows:
        1.) apple_bootstrap partition not created.
        2.) No installable kernel.

1.) apple_bootstrap
************************
The error on partition creation states that no newworld boot partition exists 
even if it does. I don't know whether I've been trying to do the right thing 
but this has been reported before (judging by Google searching) so I won't 
waste your time with a description of my various attempts. Can anyone tell me 
in step-by-step idiot speak how to get past this stage? The CD image I was 
using was: 
http://people.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/powerpc/current/sarge-powerpc-netinst.iso  
This all occurred yesterday.

I attempted to carry on regardless and came up against the following:

2.) No installable kernel
*****************************
Sorry I can't reproduce the error in order to state the message exactly but it 
went along the lines of:
        "No installable kernel can be found in the apt-sources list. If you 
	want to continue despite this unusual error......."


Thanks in advance,

Adrian.
