It would be useful if you provided more informations, like the Mac
model, the kernel you installed, the last message you saw, etc...
Ben.

What version of Debian are you using, this sounds exactly like the
problem I had. It looked like it froze, but I have an external cd-rw
that initialized, so I know that it was still going I just didn't have
video the video=ofonly kerrnel argument will help you determine if
that is your problem.
the way I do this is when it starts up you get a boot: prompt. then I
hit tab to see what I have. It displays the kernels available, and
after the name I type video=ofonly, and that will give me the
grraphics display, after that I am not sure, I haven't avtually gotten
a system installed yet

Sorry I just skimmed your message again, the first time I missed
"debian sarge"
