Comments/Problems:
I expect I would have had an easier time if I hadn't earlier replaced
the stock optical drive with an aftermarket
Matsushita CW-8123 DVD-ROM CD-R/W. The device doesn't support boot from
CD, driving me to the HD install.
In order to have a dual-boot system, I pre-partitioned the drive with
pdisk in MacOS, carving off the top of the existing partition
for Linux space. Unfortunately, I didn't have a copy of Hard Drive
Toolkit or the like that was current for my HD
(stock Maxtor 196B) to pack the data into the bottom of the partition
so the MacOS install was partly corrupted, though
still bootable.
I carved off another 3.5GB partition (Jobs_RDF) and did a new install
of MacOS 9.2.2 into it.
I copied the contents of the install CD into a smallish partiton
'swab', copied yaboot, yaboot.conf, vmlinux and initrd.gz to
the root level of the file system and booted into yaboot from open
firmware with 'boot ultra1:8,yaboot'.
ultra1: (not hd:) was required because the Maxtor was the slave device
on the IDE bus.
From yaboot 'install video=ofonly netcfg/disable_dhcp=true' took me
into the installer where I set my fixed IP settings for
my local network and had the partitioner make ext3 filesystems in the /
and 'home' partitions, make 'swap' swap space and
'bootstrap' the NewWorld bootstrap partition.
When downloading the rest of the install system, debian.yorku.ca failed
on adduser, ftp.crc.ca even earlier and mirror.direct.ca
and debian.kida.net did not answer at all. Eventually I went to
ftp.debian.org (sorry).
After that, everything went pretty much standard, except that my
keyboard was frozen on the initial boot into the second stage
installer (Mitsumi Electric Apple Extended USB Keyboard, problem hasn't
reoccured)

That can happen unfortunately. Glad you found a working mirror.
Closing your report as the installation was successful. Thank you for
sending your installation report.
Cheers,
