No, this is wrong: the initrd image wasn't built. I knew, because I did
a previous installation and filed a different bug, that yaboot wasn't
working. So I selected to do not install a boot loader from d-i menu
(there is a specific menuitem).
I did not receive any error. The installation was completed right. The
kernel installation (that I might repeat even now) does not create the
initrd file.
Bye,
Giuseppe
