Try a newer businesscard or else a netinst.
I tried last night's official jigdo image and I was able to get past the problem I was having before.
Now the install is failing while trying to --configure the kernel-image package. This is the error I see
Internal Error: (=D) is not a directory!It looks like it's dieing in kernel-image-2.4.25-powerpc-smp-prep.postinst line 99
----
my $image_dir = "=D"; # where the image is located
----
die "Internal Error: ($image_dir) is not a directory!\n"
unless -d $image_dir;

Not really knowing what "=D" is and how the postinst script works I
played around a bit. I changed $image_dir to "/boot" and 'dpkg
--configure -a' worked fine. It looks like my kernel is setup but d-i is
not happy from the previous error and I can't continue the install and
it will not let me configure yaboot, so no debian for me yet.
Another thing I noticed is if from the main menu you abort the install and reboot it does not cleanly unmount the /target filesystem. Each time I attempt to install I have to run fsck from OS X before I can mount the ext3 filesystem.
