For those having issues with eject:

Here is a 32 bit image that will boot your mac off a usb key

It's a hd image with mac partition table, a hfs apple_bootstrap and an
ext2 partition with the kernel/initrd.  Created on an x86 linux box with
parted, hfsutils, and offset loopback mount for the ext2 parts.

sha1sum attached

dd if=ppcboot.img of=/dev/sda bs=1k

where sda is your usb storage device 

pop the usb key into your mac.  Power up holding the option key (alt)
down and you should get the graphical chooser.  Choose the disk with the
USB logo below it and the small tux log.

Click on the -> arrow and it should take you there.
