I have a iMac G3 (Strawberry i think is what it is) that does the same thing
and was wondering if there is a way to enter recovery mode from yaboot?

Probably means X doesn't like your graphics card with the current
configuration.

Try booting recovery mode then disable starting gdm/xdm/kdm (whichever
is in use) and then reboot normally and see if it works in console mode.

What kind of machine is it?

Powerpc isn't just one kind of machine.  The ones I work with can't
display a penguin since they have no video at all, just serial.

Does booting recovery mode (single user) work?  Maybe it is just X  
that

is broken.

Hello !

Here's the problem I encountered :

when trying to make a net install on Pegasos II hardware, after selecting the
mirror, the installer downloads some stuff, detects the hardware and then
complains that it can't find a Debian CDROM installation it's trying to mount
(whether I had specified a net install and already chosen a mirror :)

Is this a known problem ? 

Sorry for the inconvenience,

cheers,
