Is it going to work with BootX? If so, you don't have to worry about it

I'd love to actually install debian-ppc....
Yes it is, but (A) it has to work on non-mac machines, (B) floppies can
be very convenient, and (C) Does BootX have ramdisk support yet?
BTW, if anyone wants to test the image with BootX, it's available at
<http://www.debian.org/%7Eespy/ramdisk.image.gz>. I suppose the base2_1.tgz
tarball from dists/sid/main/disks-powerpc/2.0.11.4_1998-10-15/base2_1.tgz
or the 5 base floppy images (I dunno how to write raw images to floppy
under Mac OS though) on a Debian mirror can be used with it, but there's
not a pmac drivers disk yet, so the part of the install where drivers are
configured won't work.
