Package: install
Severity: important
Using the sarge-powerpc-netinst.iso image as of 2004-04-01, I
attempted to install Debian on an iMac. The install failed because it
did not create a partition for yaboot.
The details:
wuth@galileo$ md5sum ~/tmp/sarge-powerpc-netinst.iso
49dd5281613dc1cb938c7b267cb11e35 /home/wuth/tmp/sarge-powerpc-netinst.iso
I'm not too familiar with iMac's so I don't know the exact model, but
the following might help (after work-around):

Reproducing bug:
at "chang" sound, hold down 'c' key
at "boot:" prompt, wait for "install" kernel to default
low memory mode: enter
country: canada
connects with dhcp
set hostname to "arcturus"
partition: use entire drive
choose: all files in one partition
partition table will display as:
#1 32.2 kB Apple
#2 6.1 GB B F ext3 untitled
#3 302.5 MB F swap swap
No error should occur, but the partition table is wrong, the bug
causes the following to be displayed:
[!!] Install yaboot on a hard disk
Failed to install bootloader
The installation of the yaboot boot loader failed.
Please check the sytem log or the output on the third console (tty3).
Warning: Your system may be unbootable!
4th console shows:
yaboot-installer[...]: WARNING **: boot_devfs=/dev/ide/host0/bus0/targe0/lun0/part2, root_devfs=/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2
yaboot-installer[...]: mkofboot: Finding OpenFirmware device path to `/dev/hda2'...
yaboot-installer[...]: mkofboot: /dev/hda2 appears to be mounted! aborting
A work-around to the bug is:
* Execute the sequence above until the bug occurs.
* Reboot
* reinstall a second time as follows:
at "chang" sound, hold down 'c' key
at "boot:" prompt, wait for "install" kernel to default
low memory mode: enter
country: canada
connects with dhcp
set hostname to "arcturus"
partion: choose "manually edit"
