The Sid d-i failed with seg-faults. The Squeeze d-i did *not*.
In fact, the squeeze d-i installer completed a normal installation and
booted just fine.
So... What do we do now?
Currently the squeeze installer is more up to date then the daily
since the daily has stoped to work (I've already contacted people to
look at it).
We have put a (probably) alpha1 image at
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/squeeze_di_alpha1/powerpc and would
be nice if you could do a test on it. We intend to announce it on
friday so please give it a run.
Cheers,

It used to have the drivers for the ps3 network card and it would install but
now it just fails at configuring network. I dont know how to provide extra info
from the logs or how to access them. Thanks.

If there is, you can type alt-F2 to switch to the VT2 console. From there you can mount the USB-flash and copy /var/log/* to it.
