Hello Adrian,
finally i just got time to do the installation on the G5 machine.After the installation and reboot, the machine gets stuck and repeats:i2c transfer at 0x49 failed, size 3, err -5nouveau 0000:f0:10.0: XORG failed to idle.
during installation i was asked for a media with non-free firmware, which i ignored. :)Should this be the issue?How can i install this, and where to take the non-free fw for macppc?
Thank you,Mitch

Use the image provided here [1]. Just install normally but make sure you
don't remove the /boot partition that the installer creates during installation.
If you see a blank error message, just answer it with <NO>. (Known issue, will be fixed in the next release).
