Re: install from MacOS
Take a look at this guide by Branden Robinson. It is listed as being
for an iBook, but I think it will work on any of the "New World" Macs.
I was also able to install Debian 3.0 a few weeks ago by using just a
ramdisk and kernel on my "Old World" 8500.

Should get you going for a "media-less install."
