Nope -- not really used to PPC hardware at all yet :-). I was hoping
that if I left stuff out it wouldn't go this badly wrong :-).
Hopefully when I have told yaboot to not bother loading an initrd, I
will be able to continue with my trial and error experiments...

I did -- I disabled initrd support in my kernel but yaboot.conf expects
there to be one (at least I am pretty sure that is the problem). The
Debian kernel-image package needs an initrd to boot and doesn't seem to
be able to find it ATM.
I'll try your advice about how to get the d-i CD to recognise my hard
disk ASAP (I'm a little busy with University work and a couple of other
projects right now, unfortunately). Many thanks anyway for the
suggestions. I will undoubtedly let the list know how it goes :-).
bye just now,
