Bug#151212:

[Lisa Leone <lisaleone@mac.com>]

Package: boot-floppies
Version: Official Debian 2.2r6

architecture:   powerpc
model:             Apple PowerMac 1GHz DP
memory:         1.0 GB
scsi:                  n/a
cd-rom:            Pioneer DVD-RW model DVR-104, ATAPI
network card:  built-in Ethernet
install target:   ATA100 80GB, master device (hda), temporarily 
formatted as Apple HFS

Open Firmware recognizes the DVD-RW drive, and the CD I'm trying to 
install from. When I start up in OpenFirmware and enter the "boot 
cd:\\yaboot" command, I get an error saying "wrong partition 1 size". 
There are a few more messages and "wrong partition 1 size" again.

I do get a yaboot prompt, but no matter which package I specify, the 
next screen stops after 3 or 4 lines of messages. The final message I 
get is "DO-QUIESCE finished booting". I waited for half an hour to see 
if anything further would happen, but nothing did.

A couple of times the computer shut down after I entered the package 
name at the yaboot prompt.
