This is more probably a kernel issue than a debian-installer one.

Please let's take this converstaion to the debian-powerpc mailing list

They should work fine, and if they do not, please fill a bug, and i will
try to fix them.

Maybe you could give debian-installer beta2 a try ? 

http://www.soziologie.ch/users/steinlin/d-i/

Is a page with explanation on how to do that.

This is not ontopic in debian-boot, but there have been some information
about this on debian-powerpc, go look at the mailing lists archives of
it.
