Ignore most of the above:
There is a CD image that will work here:
https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/debian-mac-10.9.0-amd64-netinst.iso
Note: none of the images team has your hardware. Somebody somewhere may
have similarly old Mac hardware and had reported successful installs a while
ago. There were discussions either here / debian-cd as to whether it was
appropriate to continue making this Mac media.
All the very best, as ever,
