I got the image but then realised it is too big to fit on a floppy so just burned a CD with only that file on it. I get a lot further, it boots and I see a penguin. Unfortunately I then get a kernel panic but this is still a major step forward, at least I can see some possibilities now. I think I might try Suse rather than Debian, does anyone know of iso images for Suse/PPC? Does anyone have a reference for Open Firmware commands?
