Does the d-i initrd have a cdrom.o on it anywhere? I am not familiar
with mac hardware, so I don't know if this is an ide or a scsi cdrom,
but I do not see any cdrom modules at all listed in
build/pkg-lists/cdrom/powerpc. Was this previously perhaps built in, and
became modular in the new powerpc kernel?

I don't know why, but the new powerpc kernel does not include a sungem
module at all. I had to remove it from the modules list.

That's probably cdrom-detect being a snot: It tries to come up with a
list of ancient i386 cdrom modules and of course there are none on other
arches.
