If it's OldWorld, it must be a Wallstreet or earlier.

It does have OpenFirmware, but still the Debian CD is not bootable.

Gee, I didn't even know there were BootX binaries in woody.  I use
BootX_1.2.2.sit from <URL:http://www.penguinppc.org/~benh/> on my
OldWorld Macs.  This works very well, just make sure that you transfer
the kernel and initrd to your Mac OS partition after installation.

Regards, Jens.
