OK, so we're talking debian potato, not linuxppc. That is not the
kernel version, but the version number of the boot-floppies package.

There should be a drivers.tgz file in the disks-powerpc/current/powermac.
That file can be used by the installer instead of the driver floppy set.
After booting from the floppy, and selecting Install Kernel and Modules,
which method are you using to install? Since you have a CD, you should
select CD-ROM rather than floppy. It should find all the files it needs
automatically. Same for the Base Installation later.
