If you have a new-world machine (of course, if you are running OSX), I
think there won't be any problems at all. The bootloader of choice is of
course yaboot. Have a look at http://penguinppc.org/projects/yaboot/ ,
there is also a good HOWTO. "Simply add macosx=/dev/hda14 to
/etc/yaboot.conf and ybin will translate the unix node into an
OpenFirmware device path and configure ofboot.b to present a menu
including a MacOSX option."
I have Debian Woody on iMac (slot-loading 350mhz), and I do have a
triple-boot OS9+OSX+Debian.
About Oldworlds... yes, I know that there may be a lot of troubles.
>One more thing, does anyone know where i could get a bootable net
install image for mac? or if one even exists?
I followed instructions found from
http://people.debian.org/~branden/ibook.html , it describes how to
install Woody without using any physical media at all. Worked great for
me.
