The following warning is shown by the preinst script, unless you set
do_initrd to yes in /etc/kernel-img.conf.
"You are attempting to install an initrd kernel image (version $version)
This will not work unless you have configured your boot loader to use
initrd. (An initrd image is a kernel image that expects to use an INITial
Ram Disk to mount a minimal root file system into RAM and use that for
booting).
I repeat, You need to configure your boot loader -- please read your
bootloader documentation for details on how to add initrd images."

Done.
If you think there should be a yaboot specific warning, like there is
for lilo and elilo, please file a wishlist bug against kernel-package
and include a patch.

That's a different bug and has definitely been fixed.
