It won't naturally not boot yaboot, but you should try netbooting : http://people.debian.org/~luther/debian-installer/daily-powerpc-built/daily/powerpc/netboot/vmlinuz-prep.initrd Or even the 2.6 kernel when it will become available (tomorrow i think, but i can build you a special one) : http://people.debian.org/~luther/debian-installer/daily-powerpc-built/daily/powerpc/netboot/vmlinuz-prep.initrd > The tutorial from Rolf Brudeseth mentioned on the ports page seems to > be gone. Well, feel free to contribute to the debian-installer installation manual a prep specific part, i would help you as best i can on this.
