BTW, if anyone wants to test the image with BootX, it's available at <http://www.debian.org/%7Eespy/ramdisk.image.gz>. I suppose the base2_1.tgz tarball from dists/sid/main/disks-powerpc/2.0.11.4_1998-10-15/base2_1.tgz or the 5 base floppy images (I dunno how to write raw images to floppy under Mac OS though) on a Debian mirror can be used with it, but there's not a pmac drivers disk yet, so the part of the install where drivers are configured won't work.
