Error : No bootstrap partitions found
Configuring 'yaboot-installer' failed with error code 1
Comments/Problems:
Prior to install the base system I create a bootstrap partition with
mac-fdisk (b option on partition 2) in a shell.
Partman doesn't recognize it as a bootstrap partition but as ext2 and
yaboot-installer failed saying that no bootstrap partition was found.
Installation failed here. I can continue the installation of base
system but no way to boot debian after.
