(is there perhaps someone that already did solve this?)
Well, I just configured my old PowerBook (Pismo) as a netboot server
for my new PowerBook G4 (17" 1.33GHz) and cloned the system with
dump/restore. Easy as cake. If you configure netboot servers on a
regular basis.
BTW, I wrote Pismo instead of PowerBook G3 first, and then stalled
when I couldn't figure the nickname of the new PowerBook G4. So I
looked it, and it's Q41. Argh. They don't make codenames like they
used to.
Oh, and I found that Ben's development tree works best for a kernel,
and Michel's dri-trunk snapshots provide a working XServer.

Jens,
Do you have any further information on using Michel's dri-trunk
snapshots? My attempts in going by the guide at
http://dri.sourceforge.net/snapshots/README.Debian have been
unsuccessful. When I try to install the xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk
package using dselect, dependencies always pull in 4.2.1 stuff. I am
still new to Debian, so perhaps I am missing some obvious point. Any
guidance would be appreciated.
I am using a PB G4 17" 1GHz running sid.
Thanks,
