I don't know about installers, but there are builds. debootstrap is one way to get a root filesystem (it worked last time I tried it). But it's probably unneccessary since the packages may not be a lot newer than the filesystem that Thorsten recently made available: http://lists.debian.org/debian-68k/2012/04/msg00032.html If you want to try it out, you need to convert it and copy it onto a SCSI partition. http://lists.debian.org/debian-68k/2012/04/msg00038.html If you want to boot from network storage instead of SCSI, mounting the filesystem image on an NFS server and exporting it to the Quadra is another possibility. ATA over Ethernet is a better option. In anycase, you would need a suitable kernel binary, which I can build for you if you want to attempt an installation.
