This bug is also present in Debian Jessie (SID).

I installed Debian Jessie (SID) on the same Powermac G4 MDD and
experienced the same problem. The solution  is the same; use a boot
parameter to get the graghical interface. However, the boot parameter
isn't remembered with Jessie, either.

I'm sure one can add the boot parameter manually to the etc/modules (I
think) and get around this issue. I haven't done that yet.

Do I need to add any more logs to this report?

Title:
  PPC: Alternate installation boot to black screen

Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Alternate Installer via usb flash drive.

  The installation proceeded without a problem. Upon initial reboot,
  computer display stays black with only the arrow showing. The arrow
  can be moved around. I was able to get to a console to file this bug.

  I rebooted via the console and stopped the booting sequence with a
  TAB, in order to type in the following boot parameter:

  Linux video=radeonfb:1920x1080-32@60

  The computer booted correctly and everything worked normally.

  However, on subsequent reboot, the computer does not remember the boot
  parameter, and it must be entered manually.
