Yes, I've installed Debian Sarge (first boot with woody floppy disk &
CDROM).
Then, I did bootstrap a Gentoo on it.
Type "ANS" or "Apple Network Server" in Google linux page, you'll get some
very useful informations and kernel/floppy images to start with.

Good, It sounds good. But I don't find any note on ANS in
http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/inst/install.
Can you tell me the name of the boot floppies.

First link I get in google is the right one:

From this page, I think you will be able to find everything you need.
