The first partition of an apple partition is the partition map itself ("Apple_partition_map"). "Apple partition" format is a legacy from the m68k macintosh. Then, you can find a partition called "Apple_Driver" that is in fact the = driver to manage the disk. On m68k macintosh, to be bootable a disk must own: - an "Apple_Driver" partition - an "Apple_HFS" partition - a boot sector in "Apple_HFS" I don't know if this mapping must be applied to ppc macintosh, but I thin= k, for early ones at once. You can find more details in the HOWTO of EMILE (http://emile.sourceforge= =2Enet , "Install EMILE on your SCSI disk") > And if yes, is there a way to fill this part with a working bootstrap > before the debian installation. You can try the tools coming with EMILE, but you must extract "Apple_Driv= er" from a bootable macintosh drive. I made it to make bootable a CDROM, I di= dn't try with a disk. But IMHO, the best solution is to boot a MacOS installer= CDROM. You should, also, be able to use OpenFirmware command "boot" (something l= ike " boot /pci@fef00000/ide@b,1/cdrom@0:\ppc\chrp\vmlinuz-chrp.initrd", this o= ne works on Bull Escala). But I don't know the level of implemenation of OpenFirmware in qemu-ppc. Otherwise, use the "-kernel", "-initrd", "-append" parameters of qemu.
