A separate /boot partition formatted as ext3 would be a solution; as it was for some time before yaboot got support for ext4. Instead of doing separate /boot we might be better off to adjust newworld partition recipe to accommodate grub installation while disabling d-i 64bit and metadata_csum features on powerpc to allow for installation of yaboot.[0] Once we transition to grub we can get rid of yaboot-installer together with ext4 feature limitations. Mathieu is volunteering to do some work in this regard.[1] Milan [0] https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/partman-ext3.git/commit/?id=f87dc92157262de1ad8dd3f2343436f08271b4dc [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=610206#14
