Oggetto: Installing Debian on a PowerMac G5

I have a Late 2005 PowerMac G5 and I'm having some trouble installing Debian on 
it. I've installed debian on this machine before but this time I'm hitting some 
unexpected snags. I started by downloading the ppc64 iso from 
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/current/ppc64/iso-cd/ . I burned it to 
a DVD and booted it on my G5. When I got to the page to select a mirror, the 
installer couldn't connect. The hostname I used was 
deb.debian.org<http://deb.debian.org> and the directory was /debian-ports/ . I 
tried a few different mirrors but none of them worked. So I decided to try the 
ppc64 iso from the 2019-11-22 folder instead. That one boots and the installer 
connects to the mirror fine, using the same connection info. The problem is 
that the installer fails to install grub, and gives no option to install 
yaboot! I tried to launch a shell and install ybin but I couldn't figure it 
out. I noticed that bin was downloaded and installed onto the target, but the 
installer was trying to use grub.

Can anyone here help me get Debian installed?
