I'm stuck on the same place. The problem right now is I can't boot from the cdrom. I have a blue&white g3 (450) and I can't get it to boot of the cd. I have 'boot of cd' and 'boot of of' on the yaboot menu, but apparently yaboot can't reach my cd? I tried booting directly to OF (cmd+apl+O+F) and

Yep, this caught me out at midnight last night and I've yet to tackle it. I can only boot into runlevel two (where booting now stops). It won't let me login though. My plan was to use the debian install cd 1 to boot and mount the linux partition. I should be able to downgrade from there, right?
