Comments/Problems:
Held down option key at startup to select the Debian install DVD as
the boot volume. Got to the black-and-white greet screen and typed
"install". Went to a white screen telling me to type "mac-boot" to
continue or "shut-down" to shutdown, and "Release key to continue".
Couldn't type anything at this point, even after switching from third-
party (MacAlly) USB keyboard to default Apple USB keyboard. Had to
shutdown with power switch.
