I could not find any solid arguments searching: "site:https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc usb boot open firmware" Everywhere else it seems to be working: - http://mac.linux.be/content/booting-open-firmware - http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/11128/how-do-i-make-my-1-5-ghz-powerbook-g4-boot-from-a-usb-stick * http://apple.stackexchange.com/a/19958/85526 * http://apple.stackexchange.com/a/160252/85526 ← this one looks a bit crazy though I do not see why the d-i manual should not mention a method that works for some systems, we just need to put a warning.
