It appears that our initrd lacks the drivers needed to access the DVD
drive.
I did some looking around for any recently updated tutorials on how to
install GNU/Linux on a MacBook 1,1, and the only recent success story I
found involved installing the rEFInd boot manager and using it to boot
to a USB installer.

I would suggest something along those lines, since it would eliminate
the need to access the DVD drive from the initrd, which seems to be
where you're currently getting stuck.
