Well I am encoutering serveral problems when seeking to install Debian gnu/linux2.2 "potato" on my G3 233Mhz.
you might take a look at the debian-powerpc list archive and http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/ _before_ starting.
I cannot see where the problem resides, but I run 9.1 and I do insert the miBoot floppy, and it collpses with severe Kernel panic, reboot after 180 seconds, and so forth.
I strongly recommend to use yaboot, ybin for newworld OF and quik for oldworlds, there are some quik.confs in the archive. If you try to install via FTP on an oldworld machine it's much easier to use BenH's BootX together with a precompiled PPC-vmlinux, and the debian boot-floppies (there's a ramdisk.image.gz, which you can pass through BootX and starts the debian installer)
