Which model of the iMac G3 is this exacly and is it the original keyboard?
from archpower.
I’m using the original keyboard and I think it’s a revision D or E since it’s a 350mhz slot-loading G3 with no FireWire.

linux-6.0.9-2
will appear in [testing]
for powerpc
later tonight. It will have OF platform HCD support properly enabled. My guess is that that's the problem. Though I have no way of verifying this as I don't own anything pre-G4. :(
A powerpc ISO will follow soon thereafter.

New ISO here:
https://archlinuxpower.org/iso/stable/archpower-2022.11.24-powerpc.iso
Please let me know if this does the trick for you.

Thank you I’ll try this on Monday and see how it goes.

Again a new ISO, feel free to skip the last one:

Tried it this morning and still had no keyboard support, but I'm not sure if it was attempting to boot usb and then fell back to the disc drive so in a few hours I'll try removing the disc and if that still doesn't work I'll burn the new image on a disc and try that.

I would try to send you an iMac but I can't even imagine to price to ship a 40 lb CRT anywhere would cost. Plus it would probably be best to look for an iBook or PowerMac G3 desktop instead. I only paid $30 for my iMac a year or so ago locally so it's always fun to look around to see what some locals might have lying around.

So it still isn't working and I'm assuming it has something to do with mkinitpcio

Sort of related, sort of not
qemu-system-ppc also drops into the initramfs with an error stating that
[ 4.200722] Initramfs unpacking failed: write error

Falling back to interactive prompt
You can try to solve the problem manually, log out when you are finished
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
I think that's the same error as the iMac, I'll double-check later.
udevadm trigger returns:
udevadm: error while loading shared libraries: libsystemd-shared-251.7-1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
And there is nothing in fstab and there are no directories in /dev that point to a hard drive or disc drive.

I got qemu to boot after editing some flags.
The iMac throws aty128fb: ROM failed to map
after the write error from Initramfs
That happens when you hitting a low RAM condition. How much RAM did you give it? The absolute minimum for a successful boot is around 180MB.
That might be the issue because I only have 128MB, but I still think it's weird that the keyboard wasn't working in the prompt and that could be due to the ROM error. I'll get some memory and I'll test the installer again once I put the memory in the iMac.

Got it booting with keyboard, still have the ROM error, networking isn't working. I'll play with the networking and see if I can get it to work before closing the issue. Right now even after running dhcpcd enP1p16s19 remains in an unknown state and refuses to resolve google and says network unreachable with 8.8.8.8.

It was just the memory issue and I just have to fix grub and I will be done
