If you copy the installer /vmlinuz and /initrd kernel images to the mac
system folder (I forget exactly the process but it should be in the
archives - I don't have a live old-world machine anymore). BootX will
then boot the install CD. The main thing to remember is to copy the
installed /vmlinuz and /initrd images to the mac side BEFORE you reboot
during the install; otherwise you won't get back to the install. There
should also be information on this in the archives.
Put: site:lists.debian.org old world mac bootx .... into a google
search
