I have several questions about installing on a PowerMac 7500. Before I get deeply into something that won't work, I'd like to assess my chances of getting a working, dual-boot Mac/Linux system.

Questions:
1. How do I refer to a hard drive on the external bus? (there is an internal bus and an external one). I take it that my internal boot drive is /dev/sda1. What about SCSI ID 0 on the external bus? /dev/sda10?

2. The PM7500 has a MaxPower G3 300 processor card. Is it necessary to tell BootX anything about this?

3. The PM7500 has a PCI video card, iX3d Ultimate Res. Can this work with Debian Linux? (The resolution is set at 1024 X 768 @ 75.9 Hz.)

4. Is it safe to rush into installing BootX on the MacOS boot drive and set up an external 1Gig drive entirely for Linux?

Thanks in advance,
