Actually, it seems that the netinst and businesscard daily build isos are
broken on powerpc since april 1, which is supposedly when i was replaced as
d-i powerpc maintainer or something. This would explain why you don't have
more recent kernels in there.

I would thus suggest that you use a powerpc64 netboot d-i image, either the
mini-iso or simply copy the whole images + yaboot config to a tftp servers
somewhere and boot them. You can find them here :
