The installer stops with an Error "unsupported ppc system"
just like with FC11.
The Release Notes clearly state
Fedora 12 also supports the Sony PlayStation 3 and Genesi Pegasos II and Efika.

The Fedora kernel supports Pegasos II but anaconda does not.
As you can see from the following code taken from platform.py (http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/anaconda.git?p=anaconda.git;a=blob_plain;f=platfor m.py;hb=0d7c3b4f31ecd85f3c89df47a00e940b7a6f872a), only New World Power Macintosh, iSeries, pSeries and PS3 are supported by anaconda.

if (ppcMachine == "PMac" and iutil.getPPCMacGen() == "NewWorld"):
return NewWorldPPC(anaconda)
elif ppcMachine in ["iSeries", "pSeries"]:
return IPSeriesPPC(anaconda)
elif ppcMachine == "PS3":
return PS3(anaconda)
else:
raise SystemError, "Unsupported PPC machine type"
