problem with installing debian on a mac powerbook!

["Herr Mathias Tradinik" <mtradinik@gmx.at>]

please forgive me if these are bad questions, but I'm new in Linux in
general!

I've got a powerbook 190cs
i've downloaded debian from the FTP Mirror in Austria and I've started the
installation!
mac OS shuts down and linux starts, it checks several things.
And then it hangs!
the last outputs are:
RAM disk driver initialized: 16 RAM disks of 4096K
loop: registered device at major 7
ide0: Macintosh Poerbook IDE interface

and thats the point where it still hangs!
I've tried it serveral times every time the same thing
Please help me!
thanks a lot!
