FWIW I did my last install on a G4 Mac Mini using a USB stick running
Adrian's latest (at the time) image. I used dd to copy the netinst image to

cd alias to point to it:
devalias cd /pci@f2000000 ....
boot cd:,\\:tbxi (I think?)
Worth an attempt, but results in
load-size=0 adler32=1
LOAD_SIZE is too small
(same respronse if I try other "file" names)
There are hints in some forum threads that the A1095 indeed may be one of
few (perhaps the only?) G4 models that cannot boot from USB.
BootROM version is 4.8.6f0, fwiw.
That's frustrating. Can you confirm which partition contains the main filesystem by
testing each number from 0 to 9 e.g.
dir usb0:0,\
dir usb0:1,\
dir usb0:2,\
...
...
dir usb0:9,\
