Now I got some interesting news. I took Stephen Marenka's config for a 2.6.25.2 kernel and chopped out just enough to squeeze the kernel on a single floppy. And guess what? It actually booted! Well, sort of. The kernel messages started scrolling like normal then the whole machine spontaneously shut off. I seen this happen once before when I had the fpu emulation option turned on. So I turned it off and tried again. This time it didn't boot. It stopped at the same place as before.
The spontaneous reboot or shutdown on a PowerBook is generally a result of not having a good PMU driver. If the driver drops a message, the PMU considers the OS to have crashed and kills off the whole system. It's kind of a painful process. I have done all my work on desktop systems, primarily the IIfx. I think Finn has mostly been using Quadra systems for development.
