So I got the current stable distribution of Debian installed on this Power
PC 9600. I created a swap partition at the end of the drive and the rest of
the drive I dedicated to Linux and mounted at /
I am wondering if I should have created a separate boot partition?

The only way I can boot into the machine is with a miboot.img which was put
onto a diskette. I have tried several disks with the same result. It boots
into linux but everything on the display is corrupted and there appears to
be 2 of everything.

What am I doing wrong?
