Ok, try out :

I have checked the ofonlyboot, boot and root floppies.
I tried this -- the usual 30 seconds or so of floppy noises
followed by "Red X" for both the boot and ofonlyboot floppies.
also
http://people.debian.org/~luther/miboot/floppy-2.4-2004.08.31
same result - 30 seconds or so or floppy reading then "Red X" for
both the boot and ofonlyboot floppies.
I'm going to test the "daily" 2.4 floppies at
http://people.debian.org/~luther/d-
i/images/daily/powerpc/floppy-2.4/
then go to bed.
... pause while I go into the other room to try things out ...
Wonder of wonders! It boots and reads the "root" and two drivers
floppies! It got as far as finding the network interface card and
the CD-rom drive and reading the d-i udebs from the CD. It even
tried to run the partitioner, but there it failed to find my hard
disk.
Oh well -- too much success in one day is bad for your karma... (<-8)
We'll work on why it didn't find my hard disk another day. It's
almost 4 AM and I'm going to bed!
Enjoy!

Here's where I got the successful boot floppy from:
