Can you be more exact? What did you do and what's the point where you won't get anything? :)
I just re-installed Debian on Peg1 from Sven's old install cd. I got some new problems, but got around them. Not sure if there would be updated cd...
I'll give some points anyway. To boot from installation cd type in open firmware: boot /pci/ide/cd pegasos1.;1
You can also add some options like video=radeon:1024x768@70 or mem=256M (if you have more than 256M and having problems with copying files for example).
I had problems getting display with DVI-cable on my TFT-monitor... didn't have patience to try all different display settings, but it seemed to work fine with SVGA-cable. After successful installation the DVI works again...
Second problem was with installing base system. CD had apt source setted to "testing", which doesn't seem to work here anymore. When you have to choose source for files, I chose to edit list myself and typed there sources for "sarge" instead of "testing".
You might also want to update kernel and newer kernels might be too big for Peg1 by default... take bit older or compile yourself or something like that ;)
If X11 gives troubles with Radeon, check /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and comment out the Load "dri" line...
