I had problems typing the backslash "\" and bar "|" on my iMac keyboard when in the OpenFirmware user interface.

Using OpenFirmware on Powermacs

There is always the discussion around if the Powermacs are able to boot from USB or not and I can say: every Powermac G5 is able to boot from USB Thumbdrive. So it is quite easy to dd an ISO of Linux or Leopard to an USB-Drive and boot-up the Powermac G5 with it. But also older Macs. Older Roms. Older Edlers.
