Comments/Problems:
When Booting from install-power4, the boot process
freezes when trying to load the floppy module. In
expert-power4, I can deselect the floppy module and
get to the partition disk stage. After partitioning
the disk and creating the file system, the screen
blanks and freezes. Also, I'm still getting the
"NewWorld boot partition not found" error even with a
1.9 MB boot partition in the second partition.

I fixed this in ddetect 0.100.

Joey Hess fixed this in partman-target 24.

I nailed this down and killed it a while back, variously in
partman-newworld and yaboot-installer.
If you could retest with a current daily build, that would be great. I
think all the issues in your installation report have now been
addressed, though, so I'm closing it.
Thanks for testing d-i!
