found 597538 1.99~20110111-1
thanks

I built 1.99~20110111-1 from the sources in unstable for powerpc, and
tried installing it on a 1st-gen iBook.  It still fails in the same way
i was seeing with #597538 earlier.

I get dropped into rescue mode, and i have to explicitly set the prefix
to be able to insmod anything.

Any attempt to insmod gets this answer:

  error: no device is set

unless i do this first:

 set prefix=(hd,apple2)

at which point, i can insmod for the usual modules.
