Booting the installer required quite some fiddling - it seems to lock up the machine on kexec after downloading the new installer kernel more often than not. I found I cannot install with the new installer once running nonetheless. It requires a PReP partition but on a G5 the bootloader is written as a plain file on a HFS formatted Apple_HFS type partition.
