Did you install with the 6.06.1 iso? If it didn't work, then that's a bug.

Can you give more precise details? Like, error messages, etc. And what 
version of bootx are you using, where did you download it from?

That said, Ubuntu has never promised to cover old-world macs; not only 
are they old and few in number, they pose considerable challenges. Even 
NetBSD have trouble installing on them.
