I'm not sure you'll be able to install debian with that cd image.
I tried about a week ago on my iMac G5 iSight (ati x600 graphics) model,
had to use 2023-05-16 image with kernel options
"radeon.agpmode=1 radeon.modeset=1 video=offb:off nomodeset"
in grub.
Ok so you had the same issue when booting a recent iso, right?

Thanks for the warnings about the next steps. One of my iMacs has an ATI
Radeon 9600. I was hopping it would work better than the other one with
the nVidia GeForce FX 5200 Ultra.
Looking at this:

you might have hope to get away without nomodeset and thus still having
2D acceleration (I'm not sure if your kernel params leave you with any
kind of acceleration)
Cheers,
