I tried the new image "debian-10.0-powerpc-grub-NETINST-1.iso" from [1] on a 
PowerMac11,2 (Power Mac G5).
I was able to boot the cd with GRUB, but I was not able to run the installer.
...
I see grub and I can select "default install", but after that I end up with a blank 
screen from Open Firmware telling me "Invalid memory access".

I'm running into a similar issue on my PowerMac8,2 (iMac G5).
I've tested both "debian-10.0-powerpc-grub-NETINST-1.iso" and 
"debian-10.0-powerpc-grub-new-NETINST-1.iso", burned to CD-R's.
With both CDs, after selecting "Default install" in GRUB, I eventually arrive at 
OpenFirmware informing me of an "Invalid memory access".

I've uploaded a picture of the phenomenon here: https://i.imgur.com/iYI7KDO.jpg

Note that my iMac has two 1GB DIMMs installed, totaling 2GB of RAM.
However, I've encountered the same error when running the installer after 
removing one DIMM (leaving only a single 1GB DIMM installed).
