Bug#545987: debian-installer bug on powerpc

[Adam Ladds <aladds@gmail.com>]

Package: debian-installer
Version:

At the partition setup stage, when you accept defaults and confirm  
write, it complains that there is no yaboot partition  
(Apple_Bootstrap) available. If you open that partition (which is  
there) and reselect the type as NewWorld Boot before confirming then  
it completes successfully. This defiantly happens when you choose LVM  
as the partition method with separate partitons (/home, tmp, /var  
etc.) but I imagine (?) it might happen in other situations as well  
due to the yaboot partition being separate from these options.

My suspicion is that there is a variable set or bit set when you  
choose this partition type manually which is not done automatically  
when it should be, which is what the check looks for.

I doubt this is relavant, however my system specification is below:

iBook G3 300Mhz PowerPC 750
160MB RAM
40GB HD
No airport

Otherwise it's a stock system.

If any more information is required I'd be happy to provide it.
