I have tried with  "live-server" image... from below location:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily-live/current/focal-live-server-ppc64el.iso

Loaded the ISO as Virtual media on Witherspoon system. This should show
an entry at petitb menu like mentioned below:

[USB: sda / 2020-03-06-07-31-43-00]
*  Install Ubuntu Server

Kick started the install... but installer thrown with below errors....
