Comments/Problems:
When presented with the choice for distribution, I was offered Woody, Sarge, or Sid. I had downloaded the sarge-powerpc-netinst.iso, but I thought that perhaps I would be able to select Sid, since it was being offered. Later, when the partitions were mounted and the install was beginning, I received the following error messages:
Debootstrap Error Failed getting Release file file:///cdrom/dists/sid/Release
Installing base system into /target/ failed. Check /target/var/log/debootstrap.log and /target/var/log/debootstrap.err.log for the details.
Both log files were empty when I opened them in nano. Restarting and choosing sarge worked fine.
