If it is booting into AIX you should be able to use pretty similar
commands to write the floppy. Something along the lines described in
4.3.1 of the sarge install manual

http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/powerpc/ch04s03.html.en#id2517811

Apologies if I missed something obvious, it's been far too long since
I've used an AIX system, but I do not remember them being *that*
different (?).

Cheers!
