Where exactly did you get this boot image set? It did this once, long ago,
when PowerPC had no working install disks - but that has not been true anytime
recently.
get your install set from ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/frozen/main/disk
s-powerpc/current (or some other mirror thereof) and see if things go better.
