Booted installation from MacOS-9.1 with BootX. Installed from netinst
RC3 CD. used vmlinux and initrd.gz from the install/powerc/2.4 folder.
Used DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium.

No longer available. It's currently running 2.6 -- Sorry! The
relevant details are that it was three partitions: an HFS+ partition
for MacOS-9.1, and a Linux root and swap. There was no boot partition
-- not needed since I intended to use BootX, not quik as my boot
loader. The root partition was ext3.

Note 1:
As noted above, I booted the installation kernel and initrd.gz from the
install/powerc/2.4 folder on the RC3 netinst CD.
Note 2:
When it came time to install the kernel, the only options are
kernel-image-2.6.8-powerpc
kernel-image-2.6.8-power4
kernel-image-2.6.8-power3
kernel-image-2.4.27-apus
Notable by it's absence was anything like kernel-image-2.4.27-powerpc.
Interestingly enough, there was a kernel-image-2.4.27-powerpc available
when I used the RC3 businesscard CD to install this same machine.
I assume this is an oversight? I certainly hope it's not intentional
to disallow us OldWorld Mac users from running a 2.4 kernel if we want
to!

I don't think they are likely to be relevant. But if you need them,
just ask.
