First of all, which cd set or cd image have you used?
if you haven't used the beta2 image ( 
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/netinst/powerpc/beta2/ ) please 
try with it.

otherwise, if you haven't got a fast connection:

Copy the boot.b ( the kernel and the rest of the needed ) file of 
/install/powermac/ to the root of your os x partition, and make it read
MacRISC MacRISC3 MacRISC4
where it reads
MacRISC
that should help.
boot hd:|partitionnumber|,ofboot.b should work.
* not sure thought * maybe somebody can clear the situation up.
( at least it did for me. )


btw I had a similiar problem with the debian installer on my imac.
