Having trouble installing archpower on an iMac G5. (iwd is being a real pain, as well as a few other things)

First of all, unfortunately iwd cannot detect the airport card the mac uses, but ip link can. The other problem is it looked like on your wiki that I had to use mac-fdisk, but that doesn't seem to be in iso, or at the very least, does not do anything in the console. (I know I probobly missed something obvious, and I am sorry for wasting your time, while I do daily drive arch on my laptop, I am still pretty new to all this and really don't know what I'm doing. Thanks for making this awesome port.

The problem here likely is missing firmware for the broadcom chipset found on most airport cards. These blobs cannot be distributed freely but do have a look at b43-fwcutter and how to extract these from binary releases from broadcom.

Initially it is recommended to install using a plain LAN connection, then add in the firmware blobs after the first boot.

Just back from an extended vacation, thus the late response.

Sorry for the late comment, but I am struggling to figure something out. dhcpcd is not in the iso, so how does one connect via ethernet?

[kth5]

You can use dhclient which is included.
