Comments/Problems:
System doesn't boot from CD at all; neither with "boot
cd:,\install\yaboot" nor with "boot hd:1,yaboot" from Open Firmware
prompt (after copying vmlinux, initrd.gz, yaboot, and yaboot.conf files
to the root level of the hdd) does boot anything but Mac OS. Booting
from Floppy is impossible since this PowerBook doesn't have one.
I can't see any way of getting Debian on this device :-(
