You didn't fully read the page. It says:
"This, used with latest OpenHack'Ware preview, allow one to install
Debian Sarge."
Then you have to use the OpenHack'Ware preview from here:
<http://perso.magic.fr/l_indien/OpenHackWare/index.htm#downloading>

Note that the patch was against current CVS (that is CVS at the date of
03 march) and have been integrated in current CVS now.
OK, then I should remove it, now...
Please do a checkout from qemu CVS, use Open Hack'Ware 0.4, then you'll
be OK to start testing.

Please report if this you still have problems when doing this way. As I
never tested it on a Mac OS X host, there may be some ugly issues (but I
hope not...).

Regards.
