just to be curious, it's the pb the one all black, right?
i make my mind a mess thinking about the names of those pb series.... 
i think i've got a pb like yours, a g3 333 and debian boot fine by
itself

anyway, if you issue a dmesg command in this way:
dmesg | grep hda
you should see, first of all, what are the partitions on the hard disk.
then you can issue an
fdisk /dev/hda
inside it, write 'p', you should see the list of partitions
