For installing Debian on a laptop, I find this list:
http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/
absolutely mandatory. The laptop I'm installing Linux on is almost always
there, with a lot of details, real XF86config, etc.
Is there something like that for the Macintoshes? A page list
It seems Debian does not provide pdisk, neither in the "disks-powerpc"
directory (where the MacOS version could be useful), nor in the base system
for PowerPC.
Is it for a licensing problem? I know no other gratis program to share a disk
between MacOS and Linux partitions.

Booting (with BootX) a PowerMacintosh 7200 with the kernel in current 'potato'
(a 2.2.12) reveals no SCSI disks ("scsi: 0 hosts") while booting the same
machine (still with BootX) with LinuxPPC or YellowDog's kernels work fine and
find my only SCSI adapter and the disks behind.

Yes (not the official one, we don't have an "official" contact), mostly. But,
if you want to get in touch with people working on Debian/PowerPC, you have
hit the right mailing list.
