Thanks for doing this!
I tried this on on a PowerMac G5 (sha256)
46844b4c8da76c3fb18d3d350b1262b9938c8b8ff8a85bd193d76ac7e33b5dc9 debian-9.0-ppc64-NETINST-1.iso
It booted OK but when it came to configuring the network (There were two interfaces [both Broadcom BCM5780], I tried both) it was unable to contact the DHCP server on the LAN. (The machine boots into Jessie using DHCP when not being used as a testbed for NETINST — so I know the DHCP server on the LAN is available and working)
I configured the net manually and forged ahead. It successfully ran the time-from-ntp step, so the network was working after being manually configured. I quit before running the disk partitioner, since I didn’t want to corrupt the existing Debian Jessie installation.
Hope this helps!
Let me know if I can provide any more information. I can get a spare G5 out of storage for further testing — one that I won’t care about corrupting the disk — if it will help.
