I have successfully booted 12.04 and 14.04 from USB numerous times on two machines. the usb# depends on which USB port you are using. This is a tried and true method, and Open Firmware does support it. Open Firmware allows you to set how the computer boots, and which drive it boots from. I was wondering if anyone else had tried this yet that a.) knows how to do this b.) has had success doing it in the alpha I have done this more than once. This is something that has worked reliably in the past few releases. It currently doesn't work. So I am wondering if it will even boot from a DVD... I don't want to waste a DVD if it wont work anyhow. Is this more clear?

I don't have much experience with installing Linux on PPC hardware, but I do know that with Mac OS you can only boot via FireWire.

For some reason, I am completely unable to boot it. I have been trying various open firmware commands, but it simply cannot boot. I downloaded the Alpha the other day, with no success on booting. I zsynced it today and MD5SUM'd it. So... here is the problem boot usb1/@1:2, \\yaboot wont work... I get this helpful? message MAC-PARTS: LOAD <noninterposed> not supportedload-size=0 adler32=1 LOAD-SIZE is too small ok I tried usb2 and usb3 on two machines and then I boot to yaboot, on the HD.
