I don't actually know (I've not yet put debian on my tibook) but I do
know that the debian-powerpc list discusses the PPC laptops as well as
desktops. So perhaps cross-posting the question there would be good.
As a laptop issue, I'd kinda like to know what the answer turns out to
be, once you find it.
It doesn't sound like you're missing the bootloader (something that
gotcha's everybody, PCs and Macs alike) so I'm stumped.
