I'm grabbing the images from 
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sid_d-i/powerpc/current/sarge-powerpc-netinst.iso
again, and will retry the install in about 30 minutes when it's done.  I'll 
let you know exactly what happens and the relevant parts of /var/log/syslog 
when I'm done.  

Last night, /var/log/syslog had no useful information.  I don't have the exact 
info but it went something like this:

...
yaboot-installer: getting parted to dump partition information:
yaboot-installer: possible NewWorld Boot partitions:
yaboot-installer: error: couldn't find any NewWorld boot partitions:
...

Like I said, I'll get you the exact information from this new download in 
about 30 minutes.
