If you have network available you can also try to install a tftp server
somewhere and netboot the installer.

The procedure is available here:
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/powerpc/ch05s01.html#boot-tftp

(for me i need to specify boot enet:0,yaboot in order to get the yaboot
binary from the tftp server)
