I just successfully booted the kernel from 
http://people.debian.org/~luther/d-i/images/2004-09-29/powerpc/floppy-2.4/boot.img 
and was asked for the root floppy. (on a power mac 4400/200)

http://people.debian.org/~luther/d-i/images/2004-09-29/powerpc/floppy/boot.img 
loaded, the background went black from gray, the colors of the tiny tux went 
inverse, and that's it :(


regards,
 Holger
