The first Debian install will be used as your first test of d-i...:-)
After this, if you want to keep something for testing d-i later, you
have two possibilities:
A spare partition : however, as Otavio mentioned, this is quite
dangerous on your daily machine. The current D-I will probably be very
safe, but further versions may be more dangerous...
An emulator such as VmWare or qemu : however, I don't know if qemu is
available on ppc machines....
The latter is bay far the safest, of course, if you can do it....
