Bug#342086: linux-image-2.6.14-2-powerpc: postinst asks to set up booting with NoLOADER



Package: linux-image-2.6.14-2-powerpc
Version: 2.6.14-4
Severity: normal

After installing this image, I'm told:

  NoLOADER sets up your system to boot Linux directly from your hard disk,
  without the need for booting from a boot floppy.

... and I'm asked wether I would like to have NoLOADER set up a boot block
or not.

I'm quite sure I'm using yaboot. To my understanding, NoLOADER is a flag
for the case when no loader was found. This doesn't seem to work properly.
