Hi Adrian,
Thanks for creating the 9 Nov 2020 CD. I was able to use that CD to
install Debian SID on a PPC Cube (G4) from an external Firewire CD
drive. Previous CDs had failed while detecting hardware to find the
installation media, and I had thought there was a problem with my
Firewire CD drive (the internal CD drive no longer works on this system).

On my PPC Cube, partman didn't hang, but I only used it to choose
partitions that I had already created and to create ext3 filesystems.
The installation proceeded normally, except that the installation of
GRUB failed (perhaps I need to create an HFS filesystem on my
Apple_Bootstrap partition first?). After the CD ejected, the kernel
crashed while rebooting, but that doesn't seem to have caused any problems.
I couldn't find a current yaboot, but I can use the rescue mode on the
CD to restore Debian 7.8 from backups and install yaboot from there
until I'm able to use GRUB.
thanks
