I spend a while to get here: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/, the
older yaboot image works well on my system despite some tiny boot partition
issues. Will try the new grub image in a few days.

The biggest pain in the whole process is finding this link, as the official
powerpc port page (https://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/) is seriously
outdated. The ppc64 wiki page (https://wiki.debian.org/PPC64) hints that
the port is still active, but still not offering download as it is mainly
focused on build status. And it takes me a while to realize 'ppc64' is
literally the name of a port (the official ppc page doesn't mention it at
all)!

So my 2 suggestions are:
1. Mention debian ports website (https://www.ports.debian.org/) in official
powerpc page, or even better, put the above cdimage link there.
2. Educate visitors, the existence of ppc64 port, along with powerpc port,
and clearly states their intended use, in that page.

I'm not sure if anyone with admin right is in this list, if you know
someone has, please forward.

Thanks,
Hao
