I downloaded an install iso from that site, not sure exactly which
one. The md5 sum of the iso I used is:
MD5 (sarge-powerpc-1.iso) = a618fe6371390f2673b729ce673c3715
I couldn't find md5 sums for the iso's that are available to nail down
exactly which one I used.

Thanks for the pointer. I haven't tried floppy booting, but I don't
think that will help, because the problem is not booting, but later on
during the install process.
Could the problem be related to the fact that I have an add-on pci NIC
inside the case in addition to the mc0 on-board interface?
Thanks for taking the time to reply, much appreciated,
