Although, you will have more luck I suspect with the new sarge installer d-i rc2: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ You need to copy the /vmlinux and /initrd files to your system folder as per the BootX instructions. You can then boot into the installer. Before rebooting after the initial install you need to copy the installed /vmlinux and /initrd files to the Mac side to complete the install. Googling this list with site:lists.debian.org g3 bootx should produce some results that help I haven't done this for a while (I gave the machine away with sarge installed) but if you read the docs, it is fairly straightfoward.
