So you do have a second system. If you have a network connection between them, the following will work. Start the installation. After you've set up networking (for example at the start of partitioning), use the <go back> option to go to the main menu of the installer. Select the option "Save debug logs" and choose the option to start a web server. Using the instructions in the next dialog, you should then be able to connect to the powerpc box from your laptop. After that continue the installation until it hangs. At that point, use the browser on your laptop to download the syslog file. Another option is to do the installation in expert mode and select as extra component the "openssh-client-udeb". Then, when the installation hangs, switch to a debug console on VT2 and use 'scp' to copy the file to your laptop. If all that does not work, you can also manually copy the last 20 lines or so from the VT4 display.
