Do you have the images-1.44 directory within the powermac directory, and the
rescue.bin file within images-1.44? Everything has to be just the same as
the original files on the Debian server.
Also, check by mounting the partition directly (you can use 'Mount a
Previously Initialized Partition'), then executing a shell and try
ls /target/instmnt
If it only shows a couple of files including 'Where have all my files gone?'
then your partition is actually HFS+, which Linux can't read yet.
