you can only install distributions that support the 2.4 kernel.
So knoppix will not work.
As far as I know Suse does no longer support the PowerPC and I don't know where to get CD images from.
On the mailing list was a report of a successful install of Ubuntu 4.10 (<x-tad-bigger>Warty Warthog).

Has anyone out there gotten knoppix, Suse or Ubuntu working on the nubus machines with the current miboot image that tobias, Daniel, Florian and others have worked on? For those of us less savy in the linux world - those distributions are appealing, as they leave some things less to chance (the chance of someone like me breaking the system) while providing a great selection of programs, with autodetect and automount already in place.

I had the problem of it either hanging or powering-off during startup
recovery too. I have found that the only work-around is to boot from the
installer and run mount.
I usually boot the Debian installer, choose to load the installer
components from the CD (this implies that ext2fs-utils are loaded) and
then switch to a shell.
Then I manually invoke the repair process:
fsck.ext3 /dev/discs/...

To be replaced by your root partition.
Good luck,
