I booted and installed from USB on my iBook G4 with the folowing: boot usb0/disk@1:2,\\yaboot With the USB stick inserted in the port closest to me. I used Etcher to write the iso to USB. Booted without any extra fiddling, although rather slow compared to booting from CD. This guide got me on the rigt track: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ Peter
