Is this what happens after the install on first boot?
I know yaboot certainly didn't work for me when I installed recently on
a p520 (power6+ based) machine. I am now running grub2 (with some manual
tweaking needed for the install) which works great. I am running squeeze
now (I can't remember why lenny didn't work).
