I have successfully installed Debian on PB Firewire. I put the kernel
from Ben's page http://ppclinux.apple.com/~benh/
(vmlinux-2.2.15pre14-ben1.gz) and a ramdisk.image.gz from Debian to a
HFS disk partition and pointed yaboot at them. Are you using the same
kernel image? 

I don't know if the current boot-floppies incorporate a suitable
kernel, I did the installation at the end of March when the support
for PB2000 was just announced. It works very well, no problem so far.
Thanks to Henry Worth and Benjamin Herrenschmidt.
