Problem installing debian on G3 beige

[Manea Mirko <mami@arena.sci.univr.it>]

Hi,

I am trying to install debian on a power G3 beige.

I downloaded
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-powerpc/2.2.19-2000-12-03/powermac/images-1.44/boot-floppy-hfs.img

and

ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-powerpc/2.2.19-2000-12-03/powermac/images-1.44/root.bin

When I start with the boot floopy, the kernel is loaded and then I am prompt
for ramdisk (ie root.bin, I think).

The problem is that if I press enter, nothing happens! In fact the keyboard
seems locked. Is this a known problem ? I tried to write boot image to
many floppies, but nothing changes.. I also reset open firmware with
command-option-R-P..

Any help would be appreciated !

Thanks!

Mirko
