Well I am encoutering serveral problems when seeking to install Debian

you might take a look at the debian-powerpc list archive and
http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
_before_ starting.
I cannot see where the problem resides, but I run 9.1 and I do insert
the miBoot floppy, and it collpses with severe Kernel panic, reboot
after 180 seconds, and so forth.
I strongly recommend to use yaboot, ybin for newworld OF
and quik for oldworlds,
there are some quik.confs in the archive.
If you try to install via FTP on an oldworld machine it's much easier to use
BenH's BootX together with a precompiled PPC-vmlinux, and the debian
boot-floppies (there's a ramdisk.image.gz, which you can pass through
BootX and starts the debian installer)
