Bug#774811: debian-installer: debian-testing-powerpc-netinst.iso 2015-01-05 08:58 278M doesn't boot



Hi,

Since this problem is powerpc specific, I'm putting
debian-powerpc@lists.debian.org in copy and since it concerns the
bootability of an ISO image, I also add debian-cd@lists.debian.org.

Does anyone have any idea why jessie ISO images would not be bootable
on an old G4 ?
