you need to use bootX.

I have partitioned my  HD so:

200 Mb HFS for a small OS9
125 MB Swap
1.5 GB Root linux
3.6 GB Home linux

The "problem" is that you need to use SID instead Potato, but if you
have a decent internet connection is not a problem.

go to

Seem to the author have some problem today. 
Try it tomorrow. In any case I have the configuration file for X and the
International Keybord of a US wallstreet Apple.But is esay to change in
a german or spanish or italian layout.

you can find it in my server:

http://ftp.maximumdebian.org/pub/misc/PowerMac/

I have write too something about PowerMac in my site, but is in Italian
language.
Is better that you refire to the FirtAid Documentation.
