Benoit, after two weeks of experimenting or so, I gave up. I run Debian now on a UltraSPARC from SUN and the installation was a lot easier.
I think the only thing which really helps is to install MacOS and use the other boot loader available (I can't remember its name). But I did not want to start to bother about MacOS... Sorry that I could not help you.
