Looks good too. Have you tried booting from the install CD?

What version of MacOS are you running? I would guess on 8.6
from the log output.

The linux console only works properly in depth mode 24.
Moreover, you need a mol-patched kernel in order to 
mount filesystems etc. You should be able to see the early
boot sequence though (if you use a standard 2.4.19 kernel
with BootX support).
