Hmm.
I think the CD is fine, the MD5SUM matches for the .iso file and ran md5deep on the whole CD with the files from the mounted .iso and they match. Just for fun I burnt another copy and had the same problem.
I was able to switch consoles this time, with option-F[1-4] no 'fn' and not the command button. I thought I had tried this a number of times but this last time it worked. I was able to get some more detailed info.
It seems to me like after setup base-config has been run the installer is trying to install the kernel. On one console I see an warning saying "failed to bind /target/cdrom" and then apt update fails.
I'm not sure why it is trying to mount the cdrom to /target/cdrom, first of all the cd is already mounted to /cdrom and there is no directory named /target/cdrom so there are two reasons why it would fail.
On another console I see it apt failing to find cdrom/dists/sarge/main/binary-powerpc/Package.gz and then giving up, I assume this is because it can not mount the CDROM.
I manually unmounted the CD, chrooted to /target and mounted the CD as /cdrom. At this point I did an apt-get update and apt-get install kernel-image and it seems like that would work but the installer is in a state which I'm not sure how to get past. I just gave up and rebooted and I'll try again with the next CD image.
