I seem to have the same issue with the PowerPC CD (since the alpha stage images). It will show up in the boot menu but once selected it doesn’t work at all, just inverts colors. Tested on both my G5 DP and eMac G4, which the latter works only on the now obsolete 10.4 and current 11.1. 11.2 doesn’t boot all the way (hangs at cryptosoft0 in the boot sequence)

I have booted a FreeBSD-12.0-RC2-i386-bootonly.iso disk on a Pentium 4 without difficulty. For RC2, the "..disc1.iso" looked too big for a 700Mbyte CD.
