Erm, not really. I'll try to see if I can reproduce it on my SS20.

That looks like bug #396193, which didn't receive any attention from
maintainer for over 3 months now, making yaird pretty much unuseable
on sparc. You can use an alternative (and, currently, default) initrd
creator, initramfs-tools. Installing initramfs-tools, removing yaird,
and running 'dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.18-4-sparc32' should
generate a working initrd.
