File a bug report against yaboot-installer describing your problem, maybe
using the installation report template, but modifying the Package: field to
show yaboot-installer.
http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch05s03.html#submit-bug
Including maybe information about your /proc/cpuinfo, /proc/device-tree and
maybe some /sys stuff.
Friendly,
