Which floppies are you using ? floppies or floppies-2.4 ?
Can you give the exact URL ?

Yes, check the installation manual, i believe it contains the info :
http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.powerpc/ch05s02.html
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text
and :
debian-installer/framebuffer=false
may work.

Did you try both the floppies and the floppies-2.4 ?

Ok, usual story. But we don't know if it is the install itself, the different
miboot or different kernel version which cause the problem.
Make sure to write to debian-boot next time, and to fill an installation
report once you are finished ...
