The first partition is the table itself. The second partiton is a fake one. You should be able to create Linux partitions now, using mac-fdisk. In order to do so, start mac-fdisk, hit 'c' and create the desired partition. After that you have to make another (small) partition for swap space. But powerpc related questions are better answered in debian-powerpc list. Greetz, Sebastiaan
