OK,
I booted from the CD with "install DEBIAN_FRONTEND=newt"
switched to the F2 console when the "choose language" screen came up.
The hardware info you wanted is:
~# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep motherboard
Motherboard: PowerMac3,5 MacRISC2 MacRISC Power Macintosh
~# cat /proc/fb
0 ATI Radeon QW
Then I did:
~# echo "disable-module=linux_input" >>/etc/directfbrc
~# export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=gtk
~# debian-installer
It crashed when it tried to initialize the graphical installer
