Right. Someone's working on SSH support for debian-installer/sarge,

intend to integrate it with Cobalt. In any case, if everything else
fails, there are USB to serial converters which you could use on the
Mac.

It depends on the kernel. If you copy the kernel to the three files
vmlinux_raq-2800.gz, vmlinux_RAQ.gz and vmlinux.gz you should be
pretty well covered.
