Hi David,
Try installing with the “oldstable”/“Jessie” CD.

Grub for Powerpc is still a work in progress. It may not work on your old G3
machine. Jessie uses the older “yaboot” bootloader, which may be more stable
for your situation. Everybody seems to agree that Grub is the wave of the
future, but that wave hasn’t fully crested yet.
Does that mean that yaboot will not be available as a bootloader in
some future powerpc Debian? And not being maintained anymore from then
on?
TIA
