I wrote it to a CD which I mounted from the shell (for the record, the
line was "mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdb /target" and copied "cp
/target/mac-fdisk /sbin" to /sbin. Then I went back to the installation
ui, and chose "Partition hard disk". I set it up the way I wanted it
(partition table, bootstrap partition, swap, root-disk, but no mac
partitions), and selected "w".
I got:
Writing the map destroys what was there before. Is that okay? [n/y]: (I
selected y)
The partition table has been altered!
Then I got a blinking cursor for a long while, and after that the
computer restarted itself.
The hard drive seemed repartitioned, I checked with a Mac OS 9 boot
disk. (But, since I had no means of getting back to debbootstrap, I had
to reinstall mac OS, re-download the files (linux kernel, root.bin and
yaboot), make a new yaboot.conf and go at it again. Again I used the
fdisk from the cd (the mac-fdisk Chris Tillman pointed me to earlier),
and again the same result after the "w".
Any ideas?

Great! But how do I access it from the installation? (I tried mounting
my mac hd under /target, but it's formated in hfs+.)
