I can't figure how to get it to boot from the CD I made. I used the boot floppies at http://ftp.debian.org/dists/woody/main/disks-powerpc/current/powermac/images-1.44/ I made floppies from them using DiskCopy and started the install with the boot-floppy-hfs.img floppy. After that the install is very similar to x86, except the "make system bootable" option uses quick for oldworld macs (instead of lilo or grub on x86). You will probably want to make an 2.4 kernel quite soon. I suggest getting familiar with make-kpkg (in case you aren't already). Plenty on stuff should be in the archives of this year: me asking all kinds of questons.
