This also affects the PowerPC port.

The workaround is to decline to try loading drivers from removable
media, then to accept the option to select loadable modules. At that
point the only offer (on the PPC) was "none". Select that and the next
dialog requests the device name of the CD-ROM drive.

In the case of the iMac G4 PowerPC it is "/dev/hdb" (which can be
determined by switching to tty2 (Alt+F2), pressing Enter to start a
busybox prompt, and then doing "ls -l /dev/?d?" and looking for sdX or
hdX devices that *are not* the hard drive.
