This was the chroot /etc/quik.conf, right?

This seems not unreasonable; I have had good luck with quik using the
OF aliases also, such as scsi/sd@0:0 or scsi-int/sd@0:0
Try also
nvsetenv boot-file Linux <-- the name of the label in quik.conf
or
nvsetenv boot-file scsi/sd@0:0/boot/vmlinux-2.2.19
Since you don't have any video, maybe quik is actually loading but the
default image isn't working, and you can't see it.
Also, you can see what OF is doing if you hook up another computer to
the modem port and start a ZTerm or similar comm program at 38400 8,N,1.

Also, what partition does it install to? Try using that number instead
of 0 after the colon, e.g. scsi/sd@0:5
