Sorry just saw your response.

If you're OF'ing blind you could try
boot /pci at f2000000/<something like usb at 1>/disk at 1:,\\:tbxi (or
,\path\to\loader)

I think all G4s have the usb device under pci at f2000000, but I may be wrong.
The usb@# part varies per model, and sometimes has a letter or ",1" or
",2" appended
Each usb@# represents a specific usb port

A few likely strings in that thread, at least for example.
Easier if you can google your device tree.

Another idea I had was to boot with target disk mode and do installworld
over firewire :)
That may be the most painless, as I have removed the HDs from far too
many Apple products to recommend doing that :)
