I didn't use the netinst iso.
For the initial installation boot, I used BootX with the vmlinux and
initrd from the "2.6" folder on the businesscard CD.
When d-i asked which distribution I wanted to use (stable, testing,
unstable) I took "testing", which was the default.
When d-i asked which mirror I wanted to use, I took "ftp.debian.org".
When d-i asked which kernel package I wanted to use, I chose
2.6.7-powerpc. That put a kernel and an initrd into /boot. I manually
copied that kernel and initrd into the appropriate folders in the System
folder in the MacOS-9 partition. Then I allowed d-i to reboot. This (of
course) dropped me into MacOS-9 and BootX, which I then told to use the
*new* vmlinux-2.6.7-powerpc and initrd.img-2.6.7-powerpc, which rebooted
just fine and ran the rest of the installation.
Hope that helps!
Enjoy!
Rick
