Most of the stuff is back in the debian-installer SVN. I haven't monitored
these changes for some time, since I had other things todo.

Will have to look on the build host here. For the main distribution you need
the replaced yaboot package. I was not able to get the changes into upstream,
because Ethan Benson still hesitates to introduce them. I don't know what his
problems actualy are.

Second you need the kernel packages, of course. As said above I don't know the
state of the installer packages. They need to include the changes to recognise
the kernel, etc. Hopefully sarge will be released soon, we can work on a new
image, then.

I'd like to build install CD's, too. But I haven't figured out how this works.

Cheers,
Cajus
