I have a G5 with a bad internal DVD drive. I've attached an external drive, and used it to create a 50GB free space partition, a 50GB Mac partition, and install OS X.

- with OS X running, I can mount a Debian squeeze CD "debian-6.0.5-powerpc-netinst", look at files, etc.

 Nothing worked until I removed the internal drive. Then, it was pretty straightforward. Thanks to all who responded!
