I did some more checking, and it appears that a bug has been filed on this
already. Apparently the i386 package was borrowed for the powerpc one, and
the i386 side just started using initrd. Unfortunately, the powerpc side
isn't set to do the post-install setup required for an initrd setup, so it
breaks.
I just got sources and rolled it myself; all is well now.
