Are you interested in beta testing a debian-installer image i just made ? It may have a few problems still (in particular, i doubt the kernel will install well), but i am actively working on getting this fixed, and it will be solved in a matter of days. Anyway, i would be very interested in you giving it a try, and reporting back to me things that may not work. If you are interested, please try the kernel i make available at : http://people.debian.org/~luther/d-i. There will be a prep, chrp and chrp-rs6k kernel there, and i think you need the chrp-rs6k version. Just move it to the disk or wherever, and boot it with the devfs=mount kernel option. Well, the kernels will be there in 5 minutes or so, once i finish uploading them. Friendly, Sven Luther
