on powerpc yes.

its not your fault its mine, for one i was under the apparently
mistaken impression that older versions of debian-cd were uses for
potato anyway (someone i think debian-cd's maintainer told me this).
and secondly i forgot about the broken excuse for yaboot we have in
potato.

current cvs (or 2.2.9) debian-cd will use a kludged yaboot.conf for
potato CDs and a correct one for woody. 

if its possible to generate a r4.1 or something for powerpc images
that would be nice, otherwise we will just have to wait for r5.
(nobody built fixed boot-floppies for powerpc either so r4 really is a
mess on powerpc).
