If you use the new-powermac yaboot.conf, it passes `disksize=2.88' to the kernel. This in turn causes it to look for root.bin in images-2.88, which doesn't exist for the powermac flavor. This will cause the installation to fail. Why don't you use the powermac yaboot.conf[1]? Matt 1. http://people.debian.org/~aph/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-powerpc/current/powermac/yaboot.conf
