   The ISO image should have everything you need to boot.
Nevertheless, I have also been unable to get Debian powerpc
images to boot in our PowerMac.
   However, I *was* successful in booting ISO's from LinuxPPC
(http://linuxppc.org/) and the new Mandrake powerpc ISO.

   I'm no Debian expert, but I would guess their powerpc images
just don't boot on some Apple hardware.  They're probably intended
for IBM's powerpc machines.
