In contrast to Jeroen's report that "Wheezy installation went fine on G3 Mac"...

I just tried the sid_d-i "testing" daily businesscard. (details of exactly which iso are available on request)

Install went without a hitch until it came time to reboot into the newly installed system.

The stage-1 boot script asked "... Linux or CD..." as expected. I typed "l" for Linux and was presented with a flashing questionmark on a folder. This is *not* the regular Mac flashing questionmark on a folder icon that Open Firmware presents when it can't find any bootable media. It's much cruder and lot more pixelated.

Tomorrow I'll try again. I'll see if I can get some log files by booting the CD in rescue mode.

OK.

I'll try again on Monday or Tuesday (busy weekend coming up).

I tried installing sid_d-i in expert mode so I could get it to install Sid versions of the yaboot-related stuff.

No go.

I filed an installation report with a full set of logs.  Bug#636269

Hope it helps!
