There are two issues which need to be resolved:
  • OpenFirmware on your model needs to be able to boot from a USB device, & this is dependent upon the model & relative age of the firmware according to the ppc@ mailing list.
  • Secondly, whether anyone has been successful in booting from USB is murky, but below is a thread on this topic from last November:

General information about booting can be found in the installation notes:

ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4....INSTALL.macppc

...but I would recommend subscribing to the ppc mailing list & asking there. Information on subscribing can be found at the following:
