First place to look:
http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/
This page has the list of known good machines:
http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/inst/install
I don't know the numbering system you used, so I can't entirely tell whether
your machine is on the list or not, but if it is not, I would suggest you
give it a try, regardless.
Yes, a pair of boot floppies, or a single CD, should work, if anything will.
