	I answer to myself. Excuse my narcisism :-)

	... and it worked like a charm. Now the system is installed and
running. Thanks to all those involved :-)

	Now, questions:

	- I've realized that the userland is ppc32 code. If so, and besides
	  the installer, what's the difference between Cajus' mirror and a
	  normal Debian powerpc repository? I.e., could I use a normal
	  repository now that I've got a working system installed?

	- Could I use Andreas Jochens' mirror, with 64bit-compiled binaries?
	  Would it make a mess, when mixed with the already installed ppc32
	  base?
