I guess this is an apple oldworld machine, booted using bootx.
Please boot the vmlinux and initrd.gz from here :
http://people.debian.org/~luther/d-i/images/daily/powerpc/netboot/
Which should work just fine, and file an installation report from :
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/report-template
Alternatively, you can also use the upcoming etch/beta1, which should
hopefully be about next week or so, and boot the vmlinux+initrd.gz from the
install/powerpc dir.
In any case, forget the 2.4 kernels, we are in 2005, and they are quite
outdated.
