The Sarge installation manual has never been updated to reflect the state of Sarge. What you seek is located under debian/dists/woody/main/disks-powerpc/current/powermac/ of your local mirror. All the files there come from the mess which were the Woody boot-floppies. :) On a side note, the StuffIt archive of BootX in that directory contains proprietary binary code... And under a main/ directory? It seems Debian was not so strict in this era. ;) The same is also true for at least the alpha architecture. Cheers, -- .''`.
