Installing on PowerMac unsuccessful

[Tobias Welti <twelti@student.ethz.ch>]

Hi,

I'm trying to install Debian 2.2 r3 on my Apple Powerbook 5300cs. I've
got a free fast internet connection, so I'm trying to boot the powerbook
with the rescue floppy provided on the net. But there's one big problem:
The Powerbook refuses to boot from the rescue floppy. The floppy is not
recognized as a bootable floppy disk. I've tried several different
floppies with different images, with always the same result.

I downloaded the first CD and found the boot-disk for macintoshes, which
will boot, but after the screen has shown the linux logo, it freezes.
Anyone got an idea how to work around this problem?
