[K12OSN] Info on running Debian on macs

[Chris Kacoroski]

Debian-Installer on Oldworld Mac Hardware. Sven Luther [28]reported
about his work getting [29]debian-installer to work on oldworld
powermac machines. This does not only require a non-free compiler but
also a non-free and binary-only boot sector. However, miBoot and the
said boot block used to sit around in the boot-floppies source code,
without any license or source code, as Jeremie Koenig [30]pointed out.
