It sounds to me more like the .iso you are burning from might be bad.
Did you compute the md5 sum of your .iso and compare it to that
published on terrasoft's ftp site?
But, you will need the nubus kernel to install on that machine, and you
can only do that using YDL 2.0. See http://nubus.tuxppc.org for details
and a howto. You will probably also want to join the linuxppc-nubus
mailing list.
