Actually, this is similar to what I tried on my iMac G5 : install the latest nightly build, proceed until yaboot fails, and upgrade to sid to fix the problem (you have to mount /proc and /sys, of which I did know anything until two days ago...). The result is that the console freezes on my newly installed system, and the ethernet card is configured properly. I hope I will find time this weekend to re-try, and apt-get build-dep yaboot && apt-get source --build yaboot instead of dist-upgrading to sid.
