I got the image but then realised it is too big to fit on a floppy so just
burned a CD with only that file on it.  I get a lot further, it boots and I
see a penguin.  Unfortunately I then get a kernel panic but this is still a
major step forward, at least I can see some possibilities now.

I think I might try Suse rather than Debian, does anyone know of iso images
for Suse/PPC?

Does anyone have a reference for Open Firmware commands?
