Great!  So, at least the installer for Debian jessie powerpc seems to be
working on the Power Mac G5.

That seems to be a problem with the bootloader.  I'm copying your mail
to debian-powerpc@lists.debian.org because I don't own a Power Mac G5
and I don't know how to solve this.

I would guess, that if you used your Debian wheezy disc, used the Rescue
mode (type "rescue" at the CD's boot: prompt), you might be able to
reinstall the bootloader (with an older version of GRUB2).  Then you
*may* be able to boot the jessie system without installing it again.
